The principal deity Onamuchi-no-Mikoto (Okuninushi) is revered for matchmaking, and the shrine is one of the Noto region's most important spiritual centers. The sacred forest behind the shrine, known as 'Irazu-no-Mori' (the Forest One May Not Enter), has been kept untouched for centuries and is designated a national natural monument.
