⛩️Treasure Hachiman Palace [Name Treasure, Land History] 📍 Katano, Kitsuki City, Oita Prefecture

There is nothing to block, and you can see brightly from the entrance to the precincts, an open shrine ⛩️✨

Standing next to the old-looking torii gate is a statue of Nio, a city-designated tangible cultural property.

However, rather than letting you glare at me...

"Oh, you're here!"

Somewhere familiar "neighborhood uncle face" 😊

Torii is "Hachimangu Shrine"

"Takarazai Shrine" on the guide board

"Treasure Hachimangu Shrine" on the forehead of the worship hall

Hachimangu Shrine Takarazai Shrine on the map ─ ─

Even if the name is various, it is a proof that this land has been loved for a long time.

The statue of Nio is presumed to have been made in the Kamakura period.

Originally it was the guardian Buddha of the adjacent Jingu-ji Temple, but it was moved to the present place about 400 years ago due to the abolition of the temple.
