Uzume-jinja Shrine is reverentially referred to locally as "Okame-sama" and Kitahosono Station on the Oito Line, which is the closest train station to the shrine, was initially named "Okame-mae Station" back when it began operations as a station of the Shinano Railway Company (it was renamed "Kitahosono Station" when the rail line was nationalized).
鈿女神社は地元で「おかめ様」として崇められており、最寄駅の大糸線北細野駅は信濃鉄道の駅として開業した際「おかめ前駅」と呼ばれていた（国営化に当たって改称）。
