Araku Hikawa Hachimangu

This shrine in Niikura honors both the Hikawa and Hachiman deities. These great gods protect both martial prowess and the peace of the people, illuminating the Niikura town. From ancient warfare to today's peace, a deep spiritual power continuously protects the community. Among the many shrines I observe, this one's pure spiritual energy is especially strong, drawing multitudes of people.
