Formerly called "Kumanonimasu-jinja", this shrine deifies Ketsumikonokami. Although since the foundation of the ancient times this shrine had been located on the sandbank of the Kumano River, after the flood of 1889, the surviving upper three buildings of four shrines were relocated and rebuilt at the present place.

Still, a stone base survives at the Kyushachi Oyunohara, where the shrine buildings were located, and has been repaired as a ground base. At the center of the base, small stone shrines that deify the lost four center shrine buildings, and four lower shrine buildings stand.
