History
It was established as a place for the Saio, who served as proxies for the Emperor at Ise Grand Shrine, to purify themselves before traveling to Ise. After the Saio system was abolished during the Northern and Southern Courts period, it continued to exist as a shrine enshrining Amaterasu Omikami (the Great Sun Goddess). It was later revived by imperial edicts from Emperor Go-Nara and Emperor Nakayamato.

What visitors say
Situated at the end of a bamboo grove path in Arashiyama, the shrine is characterized by a mystical atmosphere created by the harmony of the black wooden torii gate, moss-covered gardens, and the green of the bamboo grove. It is known as a deity for matchmaking and safe childbirth, and the grounds feature the 'Okame Stone' (Turtle Stone). As it can be crowded during tourist seasons, visiting during quieter hours allows for a more peaceful worship experience.
