This shrine serves as an ichinomiya (first-rank shrine) of the former Tosa Province, representing the highest spiritual authority in the region and enshrining deities connected to the local land and its prosperity. Worshippers traditionally visit to seek blessings for agricultural abundance, community protection, and regional prosperity, reflecting its historical role as the primary spiritual center for the people of what is now Kochi Prefecture. As a provincial ichinomiya, it maintains deep connections to the ancient Shinto practice of honoring the primary kami of each province, making it an important pilgrimage destination for those seeking to connect with the spiritual foundations of Tosa's cultural heritage.
