After the Battle of Sekigahara, the Kutsuki clan, who were treated as fudai daimyo of the Tokugawa shogunate, established this jin'ya within their territory, and it is said that at the time, the 93,000 square meter site was home to various facilities serving as a battlefield base, including a palace, samurai quarters, a sword-fighting dojo, a riding ground, and a storehouse. Since the Meiji period, the buildings have been demolished one after another, and today only the moat, earthen walls, parts of the stone walls, and one well remain. In 1983, 25,706 square meters of the site was designated a Shiga Prefecture historic site as the "Kutsuki Jin'ya Ruins."
