Dayo Shrine is closely tied to the mythology of the Kiso region. According to local legend, the shrine was built by a local princess who traveled to the Shinto deities to pray for her father's safe return from battle. As a result, the shrine features several shrines dedicated to regional kami, including Otohime, the sea goddess, and Fujin, the wind god.
