The Engishiki Jinmyocho (a register of shrines in Japan) mentions 'Katsurakisitoriniimasu Amenohaikazuchinomikoto-jinja Shrine in Katsuraginoshimo County, Yamato Province' and lists the shrine as a taisha (grand shrine) (however, Hakanishi-jinja Shrine is considered to be a ronja [shrines considered to be descendants of a shikinaisha] belonging to Amenohaikazuchinomikoto-jinja Shrine).
延喜式神名帳では「大和国葛下郡葛木倭文坐天羽雷命神社」と記載され、大社に列している（ただし、葛木倭文坐天羽雷命神社については葛城市新庄町の博西神社も論社とされている）。
