Shiroyama Hachimangū

The shrine is located on the premises of the ruined Suemori Castle.

The shrine hosts night-time festivals (matsuri) in both July and October, featuring traditional Japanese music and dance performances.

An unusual feature is a sacred Marital Tree, whose trunk split into two parts and grew back together at a later time.

This tree is worshipped as a symbol of happy marriage and restoration of relationships.

Access by public transport is Motoyama Station on the Higashiyama Line and then a five minutes walk uphill to the north.
