About this Shrine

Fudōdōji Hachiman Shrine in Yamanashi Prefecture is dedicated to the Shinto god of war and prosperity, Hachiman Ōkami. The shrine's current structure dates back to 1884, although it is believed to be built on a site where a previous temple stood since the Edo period. Visitors can explore the shrine's main hall, which features a striking torii gate, as well as several shrines dedicated to other kami, including Fujitama and Kaito.

Cultural Significance

Fudōdōji Hachiman Shrine is connected to the legend of Minamoto no Yoshitsune, a famous samurai who was said to have sought the god's protection during the Genpei War. The shrine also features a unique torii gate that is adorned with vermilion paint and features a distinctive curved shape.
