Igami Shrine is located across the red railing of Igami Bridge over the Kashii River. The enshrined deity, Taka-Okami, is the god of rain, and has been called the ``God of Rain'' and ``Tenjin of Muto'' since ancient times, and has been worshiped as a water source deity for farmers in the Kashii River basin. The main hall, built in 1442, is Ikkensha Kasuga-zukuri, with a cypress bark roof, and an unusual style with a Kara gable on the front eaves. It has various carvings such as frog legs and wooden noses, and the bright colors give it a feel of the Muromachi period. It is the oldest Kasuga-zukuri building in Osaka Prefecture and has been designated as an important cultural property.
