History
This shrine served as the Sōsha (head shrine) of Izumo Province and is located on the site of the former Izumo provincial government office. It is considered a candidate site for the 'Sakusa Shrine' listed in the Engishiki (a 10th-century codex). However, in 1872 (Meiji 5), Yaegaki Shrine was officially designated as the Sakusa Shrine from the Engishiki. Consequently, this shrine was concluded to be Rokusho Shrine, enshrining six deities.
