Most of the original buildings in the shrine precincts were destroyed during World War II, and were rebuilt from the late 50s to 1982. It is notable for its giant ginkgo tree, suspected to be 600 years old and designated a Natural Monument in 1939, and for its annual festival (held in August), which includes a mikoshi parade and a performance of dengaku dance.It is one of the Tokyo Ten Shrines (東京十社, Tokyo Jissha), of which it has been designated as the "northern protector shrine".
