History
On February 16, 1434 CE (Eikyo 6), the then Head Priest of the Office of Divinities, Yamana Soun, invited the kami from the Sahimeyama Shrine, a Jinkai-sha (shrine listed in the Engishiki) in Mino Province, to this silver mine at the request of the local lord, Ouchi Tohitaka. Later, the shrine buildings were rebuilt by Mori Motonari.

What visitors say
Visitors can pass underneath the shrine building, which stands atop a mineral vein. Highlights include the imposing shimenawa (sacred straw ropes) and magnificent stone walls. While reaching the shrine requires climbing a long flight of stairs, there is also a 'onna-saka' (women's slope) that allows access without stairs, offering a scenic experience crossing moss-covered stone bridges.
