Main Hall (Honden)

The guardian lion-dogs (Shishi and Komainu), believed to serve as the divine messengers of Hitokotonushi-no-Okami, play a protective role. The open-mouthed statue on the right side is the Shishi, known as the A-gyō form, while the closed-mouthed statue on the left is the Komainu, known as the Un-gyō form. Today, both are commonly referred to collectively as Komainu, although they originally represent a pair of distinct figures.

They stand watch from a raised position near the main hall, protecting the deity. Their facial features include upturned eyes and drooping ears. Characteristics of the Izumo-style Komainu can be observed, such as their distinctive manes, firmly planted front legs stretched straight in a crouching posture, and upright, curled tails.

This small pair of Komainu is carved from a type of stone different from the commonly used granite. Although the exact year of dedication is unknown and the period of creation cannot be determined, it is evident that they have long stood beside Hitokotonushi-no-Okami, faithfully serving as guardians of the sacred space.

On the south side of the main hall stands the Izumo Shrine, enshrined within its own sacred structure.

Within the sacred area enclosed by a tamagaki (sacred fence), a giant zelkova tree (keyaki) grows alongside sakaki trees, its broad canopy sheltering the worship hall.
