Sumiyoshi-no-miya is the current Nunoichi Shrine. It is said that it was built on the premises in 1009 or 1063 when TOGASHI Iekuni, one of samurai representatives of Kaga Province, established a shrine in Nonoichi.
The shrine grounds include a Large Ginkgo Tree (a Municipal Natural Monument), Amagoi-ishi (also known as Benkei-no-chikaraishi), which were carried around the town to pray for rain during the Edo Period when there was a lack of water due to drought, and a monument with a poem, "Even though wind started blowing in a rainbow-filled sky and started falling, people in Nonoichi Village kept working bard" given by Doko from Shogoin Temple, Kyoto, when he came through Nonoichi in 1486.
