About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Sagamihara, Ohmiya Hachimangu Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to Hachiman, the god of war and patron deity of samurai warriors. The shrine's current structure dates back to the Meiji period (1868-1912), but it is believed to be built on the site of an older temple founded during the Edo period (1603-1867). Visitors can explore the shrine's tranquil gardens, torii gates, and historic buildings, including the Hachiman-do Hall, which houses a stunning statue of the deity.

Cultural Significance

As one of the many shrines dedicated to Hachiman in Japan, Ohmiya Hachimangu Shrine is also revered for its association with the samurai class. Locals often offer prayers for good fortune, love, and success at this shrine during the annual Hachiman Matsuri festival in May.
