Yamatocho Hachiman Shrine

Japan, 165-0034 2-30-3 Yamatocho, Nakano-ku, Tokyo

It is said that the shrine was founded in 1056 (Tenki 4) by villagers who admired Minamoto no Yoshiie on the site where Yoshiie had held a ceremony to pray for victory in battle. The deity worshipped is Emperor Ojin. Inside the shrine are a pair of lion-dog statues with topknots, a memorial monument to the Russo-Japanese War, and a monument to the loyal souls of the deceased (written by General Nogi Maresuke). The Koshin tower is a registered tangible cultural property, and the hand washing bowl is a Nakano Ward designated tangible cultural property. The annual summer festival features a portable shrine procession and a large Bon dance festival.
