Iga Hachimangu Shrine

3.5

The enshrined deities of this shrine in Iga Town, Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture, are the Emperor Ojin, the Emperor Chuai, Empress Jingu, and Tosho Daigongen (Ieyasu Tokugawa). The shrine was founded in 1470 by the fourth Chikatada as a guardian shrine for the Matsudaira family, ancestors of the Tokugawa family. Highly revered by the Tokugawa Shogunate, Ieyasu often visited here to pray for victory in war. Many buildings in the shrine’s grounds, such as the main shrine, the hall of offerings, and hall of worship, are important cultural properties of the country. Even now many people come here to pray as it is believed the shrine promises prosperity of family fortunes and success in business, as well as good luck in general. On the coldest day of January, the ‘fate of samurai’ event is held in which warrior’s fortunes for the year are pronounced.

北岡崎駅から一の鳥居までは徒歩15分ほど。1470年に松平宗家4代当主・親忠によって創建。伊賀の国から勧請したことから伊賀八幡宮という名が付けられた。祭神は応神天皇、仲哀天皇、神功皇后、東照大権現(徳川家康)。朱塗りの一の鳥居から始まる参道は、二の鳥居、石畳、玉垣が2020年から2021年に整備されたばかりでまだ新しい。川を渡って石段を降りたところに三の鳥居と一面に蓮が浮かぶ神池。神池には石造...
