Imizu Shrine is regarded as a “head shrine” representing the former Etchu Province, and Lord Otomo no Yakamochi, the governor of the Etchu Province at the time, mentioned it in the "Man-yoshu" and "Engishiki," which were written in the Heian period. The divine power there is described as a special deity, “Meishin Taisha.” To commemorate the relocation of the shrine in 1875, a 400-year-old sacred tree "double flowering plum tree” was dedicated by the local people. The heart-shaped trunk is known as a symbol of the shrine’s dedication to the bonds of marriage.

The "Plum Scented Mamori,'' an adorable amulet sewn with plum blossom-shaped silk crepe, each with a different pattern and color tone, is also popular.
