It is said that this Shrine was established fifty years before the establishment of current Ise-jingu Shrine; its characteristic black wooden shrine gate (shrine gate assembled with cedar without peeling the bark) is rare in Japan, with only one other shrine gates of its kind in existence.
現伊勢神宮より50年以上前の創建との伝承があり、全国でも二例しかない黒木の鳥居（皮を剥がないままの杉木で組まれた鳥居）が特徴的である。
