This shrine is dedicated to Masatsura Kusunoki, who was defeated by the Ashikaga army in the Battle of Shijonawate during the Nanbokucho period, and 24 generals from his clan. It was founded in 1890. Masayuki is the eldest son of his father, Masashige Kusunoki, who is known as the Great Kusunoki Duke, and is a great commander of ``loyalty, filial piety, and filial piety'' who is still admired by many as the ``Little Kusunoki''. Mt. Iimori, located to the east of the shrine, was a battleground in ancient times, but now it is surrounded by lush greenery and tranquility. There is a bronze statue of Masayuki at the top of the mountain, and there are many cherry blossoms and maple trees in the precincts, adding color to the season. Every year, the annual festival is held on February 12th, the anniversary of Masayuki's death, the spring festival on April 5th, and the autumn festival on October 5th.
