The history of Tanzan jinja is very old and goes back at the time of Taika Reform. Nakano-oeno-oji (next Emperor Tenchi) of those days and Nakatomi no Kamatari (next Kamatari Fujiwara) knock down the Soga family who was proud of power those days, and are a secret plan for power revival of the Imperial Family just before Taika Reform. It is said that it discussed by Tounomine which will serve as a backdrop to here Tanzan jinja in 645. Taika Reform was successful after that, Nakano-oeno-oji acceded to the throne as Emperor Tenchi, and Nakatomi no Kamatari was granted the Fujiwara family name, and changed the name into Kamatari Fujiwara.

Myorakuji in which Jyoe which is Kamatari Fujiwara's eldest son built Tanzan jinja in order that Kamatari Fujiwara may pray to Buddha for the happiness of the dead in 669 is past. Since that Tanzan jinja and a name were changed goes into Meiji Era. It is said that Buddhism was thrown away under the policy of Shinto-and-Buddhist-deities separation of the Meiji government for abolish the Buddha: destroy Sakyamuni, and it was renamed with Tanzan jinja when its job was changed in a shrine. 13-fold tower built in order to perform a memorial service for Kamatari Fujiwara in Tanzan jinja -- important cultural properties, such as God mausoleum worship place, a main shrine, an oratory, are jostling at first. It seems moreover, a large number [ new Buddhist paintings, such as a Tounomine mandala ]. The best time to see of autumnal leaves of the admission fee of Tanzan jinja is the middle of November - the end of the month 500 yen.
