An unusual cherry tree where the number of petals varies from flower to flower has reputedly been flourishing at this shrine since the latter part of the 12th century. The main hall of Konno is the oldest extant building from the Edo period in this part of Tokyo. The shrine's gods, a white tiger and a tapir, grace either side of the hall. To the left of the main hall there is a stage for Noh theater.
