⛩️Wakamiya Hachimangu Shrine Moriten-jinja Shrine [Shrine Walked with the River] 📍 Oita City, Oita Prefecture Mori
Moriten Shrine used to be located in this area ⛩️
On the other hand, Wakamiya Hachimangu Shrine is said to have been enshrined in the Iwafune area, which is about 0.7 km from the current location and goes up the Otsu River.
In 1197, Yoshinao OTOMO, Shugo (provincial governor) of Bungo Province, transferred the spirit of Osaki no Mikoto from Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gu Shrine in Kamakura 🙏
However, in 1965, Wakamiya Hachimangu Shrine was forced to relocate due to the river improvement of the Otsu River.
At the same time, a historic merger with the aging Moriten Shrine took place, and the current Wakamiya Hachimangu Moriten Shrine was born ✨
Along with the flow of the river, the place of prayer is also a shrine that has been inherited while changing its shape 🌿
