Unfortunately, the main hall and other structures were destroyed by arson, but
Bizen Province Sosha Shrine was rebuilt in the Heian period style, with the main hall completed at the end of December 2009 and the worship hall completed on April 29, 2015, making it the only shrine in Japan to be rebuilt in this style.
The grounds are a tranquil forest at the foot of Mount Tatsunokuchi. The main deities are Onamuchi and Suserihime, and the shrine is renowned for its prayers for matchmaking, recovery from illness, and business prosperity. In addition to goshuin (temple seals) and gifts, the shrine office also offers seasonal goshuin (temple seals) that reflect the seasons. The stone torii gates on the approach and the beautiful wooden front hall are photogenic, and the soft morning light is especially recommended.
In recent years, the shrine has become so popular that mikoshi (portable shrine) carriers gather from all over the country, and it has been featured in magazines as one of Japan's most powerful spots.
The chief priest and shrine staff are young and extremely courteous.
