The date of construction is unknown, but it is estimated to be from the middle to late Muromachi period based on the architectural style. It is built in the Ikkensha style and has a cypress bark roof, giving it regional characteristics that are slightly different from those in southern Osaka due to its proximity to Kyoto Prefecture. The main hall of Kasuga Shrine, a subsidiary shrine of Itsukushima Shrine, was designated as a national important cultural property in 1978.
