These deities have an ambiguous relationship with the main deity of the shrine, being roughly equal to it or of a slightly lower status, but not yet completely subordinate to it, and indicate a situation in which they have been established in the area for a relatively short time. The shrines enshrined within the grounds of a shrine are usually divided into sub-shrines (setsusha) and sub-shrines (matsushiya). Sub-shrines enshrine deities who have a close relationship with the main deity, while sub-shrines are often small shrines subordinate to the main deity. Guest deities are different from the above two, being enshrined in a corner of the worship hall where the main deity is enshrined, or in a place similar to a subordinate deity, known as a "gate guest deity," and are characterized by not yet having an independent shrine.

神社の主神に対して,ほぼ対等か,やや低い地位にあり,しかしまだ完全に従属はしていないという,あいまいな関係にある神格で,その土地に定着してから,比較的時間の浅い段階の状況を示している。ふつう神社の境内にまつられている境内社には,摂社(せつしや)と末社(まつしや)とがある。摂社には,主神と縁故関係が深い神がまつられており,末社は,主神に従属する小祠である場合が多い。客神の場合は,この両者とも異なり,主神のまつられている拝殿の一隅にまつられたり,〈門(かど)客神〉と称され随神のような所にまつられ,まだ独立の祠をもっていないことが特徴である。
