The Kasuga Shrine is the site of Iida Toroyama Festival held each year on July 20 & 21. It lies at the base of the Kasuga mountain near city hall. The ancient shrine is home to the enshrined dieties Okuninushi and Yagami. During the Koji era of the Heian Period (1142-1144), the Wakayama Villa was established, at which a villa shrine to Tu Di Gong was built and called "Wakayama Shrine." In the first year of the Kōchō era (1261), the shinto priest Kuzuhara Morihide Ise moved the diety from the old shrine its current location at Kasuga.
The cedars planted more than 700 years ago grow in abundance on the temple grounds.

To the right of the stone steps on the temple grounds is an engraved stone table with the Manyoshu Poem written by Ōtomo no Sakanoue no Iratsume (大伴坂上郎女), a famous female Japanese poet (c.700-750) during a visit to Noto. She has 79 poems in the Manyoshu, the oldest extant collection of Japanese waka (poetry in Classical Japanese), compiled sometime after AD 759 during the Nara period.
