   Known originally as Kaguraoka Inari-jinja (神楽岡稲荷神社), it's recorded that as early as 824 various shrine structures existed on the mountain top.
   Kagura-oka (神楽岡) was the early name for Yoshida-yama (吉田山).

   The renowned poet Ariwara-no-Narihira (在原業平 825-80) had a villa on the mountain and mentions that Kaguraoka Inari-jinja (神楽岡稲荷神社) stood close to his garden.
