Futarasan-jinja was founded over 1200 years ago as a place to worship the mountain Nantai-san (2484m), his mountain consort, Nyoh艒-san (2483m), and their mountainous progeny, Tar艒-san (2368m). The current main hall dates to 1619, making it the oldest major structure in 狈颈办办艒. Though painted vermilion and with a sloping roof of lacquered copper, it is positively plain in comparison to its neighbours, and backed by cryptomeria trees. Admission (楼200) is required to enter a small garden of sacred trees and sub-shrines.
There is another Futarasan-jinja at the base of Nantai-san (on the shore of the lake, Ch奴zenji-ko) and also on the mountain's summit.
