The deity is "Kamowakeikazuchi no Okami" (Great God of Thunder).

The entire precincts of the temple are registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and there are many important cultural properties.

Betsuraigami means "god who is strong enough to separate thunder" and is believed to have the power to ward off bad luck, victory, and disaster.

There are also other gods of good fortune, general luck, overall luck, and the fulfillment of various wishes.

In particular, crossing the stone bridges on either side of the mai-den (main hall), there is a rock called "iwajo (rock top)" in front of the building.
