According to shrine tradition, when the Taira-no-Masakado Rebellion was subjugated in Tengyo 3 (940), Emperor Suzaku donated Akumi Villa as a jinryo (shrine grounds) to Ise Shrine.

At that time, people began to pray for the prosperity of the region.

The main shrine, the hall of offerings, the front shrine, kagura hall, small shrine, and structure used for washing hands and mouth when visiting the shrine, all of which were constructed in modern times, are nationally registered tangible cultural properties.

very February 11th, a Shinto ritual in which there is raillery between goblins and demons, the famous Demon Festival, is held.

Because this Demon Festival is designated as an important intangible folk culture asset of Japan, the shrine grounds are packed with many observers.
