History
As an official branch of Izumo Taisha, it holds the distinction of being the southernmost and westernmost branch shrine of Izumo Taisha in Japan. Due to special circumstances following World War II, the name 'Bunsha' (branch shrine) was officially recognized, even though names other than those stipulated by the Izumo Taisha Kyō (Izumo Grand Shrine Religious Organization) were generally not permitted.

The shrine is conveniently located near Furushima Station on the Yui Rail line, and there is a free parking lot shared with the adjacent supermarket. Although the precincts are compact, they feature impressive shimenawa (sacred straw ropes) and a dignified shrine building. A notable sight is the statue of a Shisa (Okinawan lion-dog) holding a cub. Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) are issued on paper made from tsukushi (Alpinia zerumbet) leaves, and worship is available 24 hours a day.
