History
As one of the Iyo Rokka (Six Shrines of Iyo), its former shrine rank was a Kosha (village shrine), later elevated to a Kensha (prefectural shrine). During the Nanbokucho period, it was known as 'Iya Taisha' (Iya Grand Shrine), and during the Sengoku period, it was called 'Iya Dai Myojin'. In the Edo period, the Inoue clan served as the shrine's hereditary priests, a tradition that continues to the present day.

What visitors say
The shrine grounds are filled with pure air, characterized by the atmosphere of the main hall harmonizing with the surrounding trees. The shimenawa (sacred straw ropes) on the gates and the main hall are exceptionally large and impressive, giving the shrine a calm and dignified presence typical of local shrines. Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) are available as pre-written copies. It is also suitable to visit as part of a course that includes the nearby Yomi-no-Kuwashirazu.
