This 4 BCE date appears in the Gekū / Toyouke Daijingu infobox, but the official Ise Jingu page for Toyouke Daijingu (Gekū) gives a different founding date.

According to Ise Jingu’s official description of the main sanctuary of Gekū:

• its enshrinement is dated to Emperor Yūryaku, year 22 (478 CE);
• it says Toyouke Ōmikami was brought to the present site about 1,500 years ago;
• and it explicitly notes this was about 500 years after Naikū’s enshrinement.

So the 4 BCE date is not the traditional founding date of Gekū. That legendary 4 BCE date is associated with the older Naikū/Ise tradition, not Toyouke Daijingu’s own establishment.

This sentence is outdated.

A July 5, 2022 news report states that Kuni Asataka was appointed Ise Jingu’s daiguji (chief priest) that day, succeeding Komatsu Kiyohisa. That alone shows Takatsukasa Naotake was not the current chief priest by 2022.

More recent coverage from April 2026 still identifies Kuni Asataka as “Jingu daiguji” at Ise Shrine. So the article’s statement that the current chief priest is Takatsukasa Naotake is no longer correct.

In short: the office has changed hands since Takatsukasa’s tenure, and current reporting names Kuni Asataka, not Takatsukasa Naotake, as the chief priest.
