Tsumikawa Shrine, one of the five shrines of Izumi Province, was founded during the reign of Emperor Sujin. It is a prestigious shrine where prayers for rain were offered during a severe drought, and it is said that 600 koku of land was donated to the shrine. Originally, it was a shrine worshipped by local residents as a water god for the upstream Ushitaki River. The main hall, rebuilt by Toyotomi Hideyori, is a Sangensha Nagare-zukuri style shrine with a chevron-shaped gabled front and a cypress bark roof, and is a nationally designated Important Cultural Property. In addition, the eight wooden male and female deity statues (Kamakura period) that serve as the deities, and a wooden plaque said to have been written by Emperor Shirakawa, which was hung on the worship torii gate facing the Kumano Kaido, are designated Prefectural Cultural Properties. In addition, a portable shrine said to have been donated by Yododono, is also enshrined here.
