Kasuga Shrine was established as a branch shrine of Kasuga Taisha in Nara by Seki's swordsmiths.

The spirit of Kasuga Taisha was enshrined as a guardian deity for Seki's swordsmiths.

There is a Noh stage with a fan-shaped lawn in its precincts. This shrine houses Noh masks and costumes nationally designated as important cultural properties.

These items are exhibited to the public during the Seki Cutlery Festival.
