It is one of the 22 shrines (lower eight shrines) listed in the Engishiki ( Meishin Taisha ). The shrine's former rank was Kanpei-chusha (medium-rank shrine ), and it is currently a beppyo shrine under the Association of Shinto Shrines .
It is the head shrine of the water god, of which there are 2,000 shrines across the country. Unlike the local name Kibune, her name is called Kifune without any muddy sound because she is a water goddess .
