The shrine name "Rokugatsu" (June) is said to reflect the time period connected with its founding or significant rituals, and it has walked through history together with the community. Though Hachiman is known as the deity of martial valor and competitive success, at this shrine it is particularly revered as a gentle guardian watching over the everyday peace and well-being of local residents.
