Fukuo Shrine, located at the top of the steep stone steps, is said to be dedicated to Bishamonten 1,200 years ago by Prince Shotoku, and is a lively shrine held every month with the number 3 as a festival.
The history of this shrine dates back to about 1,400 years ago, during the reign of Emperor Bidatsu, Buddhist craftsman Yasuami came from Baekje and carved a statue of Bishamonten. Later, on the order of Prince Shotoku, he enshrined this statue on Mt. Fukuo and used it to protect the country. It is said that it was used as a protection for IseJingu.

The grounds of the shrine are thick with old cedar trees, giving it a solemn atmosphere, and among them is a huge kounogi called Taishisugi, which is over 1,000 years old and is a testament to its ancient history. There is a legend of a tengu on Mt. Fukuo, and a statue of a tengu is enshrined on the approach.
