History
This shrine is one of the four famous shrines of Izumo Province and is recorded in both the Izumo Fudoki and the Engishiki Shinmyocho (Engishiki Registry of Shrine Names). Its name derives from Ama no Manai (Heavenly True Well). The shrine grounds contain a sacred spring called Manai no Taki. Historically, it was a single-shrine establishment directly administered by the Izumo Kuni-no-Miyatsuko (Provincial Governor). Sacred water from Manai no Taki has traditionally been used in the Hinotogi-shiki (Fire Relay Ritual).

What visitors say
Located on the mid-slope of Chausuyama Mountain, the shrine features a main hall built in the Oya-zukuri style and a worship hall with unique architectural details, accessible after climbing a long stone staircase starting from the torii gate. The precincts offer a quiet and serene atmosphere, and the temizuya (purification fountain) utilizes abundant natural spring water. The shrine office is located within the Kagura-den (Shinto music hall), where Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) can be obtained depending on the availability of shrine priests.
