Tsukikawa Shrine, one of the five shrines in Izumi Province, was founded during the era of Emperor Sujin. It is a prestigious shrine where people prayed for rain during the Great Drought and are said to have donated 600 koku of shrine land to the shrine. Originally, it was a shrine that gathered the faith of local residents as a water god for the upper reaches of the Ushitaki River. The main shrine, said to have been rebuilt by Toyotomi Hideyori, is a designated important cultural property of the country, with a Sangensha style construction, a houndstooth gable on the front, and a cypress bark roof. In addition, the eight wooden statues of men and women (Kamakura period), which are the objects of worship, and the wooden plaque, said to be written by Shirakawa-in, that was hung on the torii gate facing the Kumano Highway, are designated cultural properties by the prefecture. In addition, there is also a portable shrine that is said to have been donated by Yodo-dono.
