It is also known as Hassha Daimyojin, as it enshrines eight deities, including Shinagatsuhiko-no-Mikoto and Shinagatsuhime-no-Mikoto. Behind the main shrine is a spring known as Hassei-mizu, and it is said that swordsmiths from Toma used this water to forge swords. The shrine's treasures include a small, model-style helmet said to have been used by Empress Jingu. The annual summer festival features a parade of portable shrines and danjiri floats. One danjiri float is brought out by each of the five neighborhood associations, and young people pull it around valiantly to the accompaniment of spirited music. At the shrine, festival events such as Sanbaso and Hassha Taiko drumming are also held.
