History
The shrine's origins are said to trace back to the enshrinement of the mausoleum of Empress Genmei at the summit of Mount Gojiso. Later, the deities of Yamaguchi Rokuja Dai Myojin were merged and enshrined at the current location. During the feudal domain era, it boasted the largest scale in the Osumi region. Following the Meiji Restoration, it was renamed Yamagyu Shrine as a local shrine and has since been revered as the ancestral temple of the region.

What visitors say
The shrine grounds feature a designated National Natural Monument, a large camphor tree said to be approximately 1,300 years old, whose overwhelming presence is a major highlight. The vermilion-painted worship hall, suizen hall, and water purification pavilion are well-maintained, and the grounds have a bright atmosphere with banners flying. A spacious parking lot is located directly in front of the torii gate, and the approach path is well-kept.
