Both are associated with the Kamo clan[2] who is believed to have established the Shrines.[3]
The shrines have a large combined Chinju no Mori called Tadasu no Mori[4], which was designated a World Cultural Heritage Site site along with the other local shrines[5]
They are in the site Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto (Kyoto, Uji and Otsu Cities)[6]
