History

A Hachimangu shrine standing on the coast of Muroran, enshrining Emperor Ojin's spirit. It has long protected this land's industries and people's livelihoods. In Muroran, known as the iron town, those engaged in various trades visit seeking martial fortune and industrial blessings. As a guardian of the sea, maritime safety is also sought. From ancient times to the present, it remains the spiritual home of Muroran's people.
