The main hall, where the presiding deity, the guardian of household safety and maritime traffic, is enshrined, showcases architectural styles from the early Edo period and is designated as a cultural asset of the prefecture. The impressive feature of the shrine is the "Kamiiso Torii," a grand torii gate known in the Kanto region, which was praised by Tokugawa Mitsukuni. This torii gate stands on a rock in the sea, offering a view of the sunrise and moonrise. Due to its connection with the sea, the Oarai Maritime Museum is also located nearby.
