Hanyu Gokoku Hachimangu Shrine
This shrine is a nationally designated Important Cultural Property with a history of over 1,300 years.
As this area is associated with the medieval female warrior Tomoe Gozen and her general Kiso Yoshinaka, the shrine is considered a power spot for fulfilment in love and luck for victory.
On the shrine’s precincts stands a towering statue of Kiso Yoshinaka astride his horse.
It is one of Japan’s largest statues of a figure on a horse.
