Situated on the site traditionally identified as Shizu Castle, the shrine originally enshrined Bishamonten (Bishamon Bosatsu).

What visitors say
The shrine faces a narrow street in a residential area and has no parking lot. The grounds feature a zelkova tree approximately 600 years old, which is partially hollowed out. The carvings on the main hall and the structure of its covering roof are distinctive features. It is a local tutelary shrine with a quiet atmosphere, allowing visitors to worship while feeling a sense of history and intimacy.
