The enshrined deities were Amaterasu Omikami, Emperor Meiji, Kunitama Omikami, and Susanoo no Mikoto. Sosawo-son was added to Mt. Gozu in Chuncheon, including Gisangbong Peak, as it was one of the identified places of Soshimori of Silla.
It was associated with imperialism and State Shinto rather than local belief in Shintoism.[1]: 30
During that time, the government forced people to visit shrines instead of visiting them voluntarily.[2]: 38
Because of Japan's loss in World War II, the shrine was abolished on November 17, 1945.[3]
