Yahiko Jinja의 주제신인 아메노카구야마노미코토를 모시고 있습니다.

Yahiko Jinja는 니가타현 야히코산 기슭에 자리하고 있으며, 신사와 산의 경관이 긴밀하게 연결되어 있습니다.

The shrine treasury holds the Shida-no-Otachi, the longest sword in Japan and an Important Cultural Property. It also houses armor and weapons donated by legendary samurai including Minamoto no Yoshitsune and Uesugi Kenshin.

The shrine was already considered ancient when it appeared in a poem in the Nara period Man'yōshū (compiled around 759 AD). Most of its historical records were lost in a devastating 1912 fire that destroyed both the shrine and town.
