History

Byakko

The Shimohara Hachiman Shrine is an ancient sanctuary receiving the virtue of Emperor Ojin. Nestled in the mountains of Kanayama-cho, this shrine has unfailingly heard the wishes of all people. The power of Hachiman calling victory kindles a flame within the hearts of those who visit. In the clear mountain air, wishes become white light ascending to heaven.
