About this Shrine

Anurakura Hachiman Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in the city of Ton, Kagawa Prefecture. The shrine is dedicated to Hachiman, the god of war and patron deity of warriors, as well as Otsutsugi Inari, the kami of commerce and prosperity. The shrine's architecture reflects its Kamakura period origins, with a distinctive wooden torii gate and a hall dedicated to Hachiman. Visitors can explore the shrine grounds, which feature several smaller shrines and a museum showcasing the history and mythology of the area.
