About this Shrine

Located in Fukuoka, eight pillars are said to represent the eight aspects of the universe. The main shrine enshrines the god of war and prosperity, Hachiman. Visitors can climb the sacred Eight Stairs of Hachimangu, which lead to a small shrine dedicated to Hachiman's daughter, Ototsuki. The shrine is famous for its vibrant autumn colors.

Cultural Significance

As one of Japan's most famous shrines, Hachimangu is associated with the mythology of the sun goddess Amaterasu and the god Susanoo. The shrine's architecture reflects its origins as a Buddhist temple, with a wooden structure that dates back to the Heian period.
