Torii gate at the shrine's entrance Keta Taisha is a Shinto shrine with a history as a holy spot that dates back over 2000 years. During the Nara Period and Heian Period, it was known as the "the first shrine of Noto". Keta Taisha is made up of a few buildings, with a number of trees encircled with shimenawa (sacred ceremonial ropes) and a sacred forest behind the main shrine buildings. Keta Taisha enshrines the deity Okuninushi, who is a god of finding true love. Like at other shrines, visitors to Keta Taisha can buy ema, wooden plates upon which one writes a wish, and leave it at the shrine in hopes that the wish will be answered. The ema of Keta Taisha take after Okuninushi, and are made in the shape of hearts, arrows and other love related things. The shrine is particularly popular among young women hoping for romance.
