Nara Koriyama Ancient Hachiman Shrine

[Koriyama Hachiman Shrine] As the guardian shrine of Todaiji Temple in Nara, Hachiman is the ancestor god of the Japanese emperor. Because the area around Koriyama Castle was called "Willow" in the early days, it is also called Willow Hachiman Shrine. As the Hachiman Shrine that protects Koriyama Castle, it is revered by the lords of Koriyama Castle for generations. Today, it is hidden in Yanagimachi Shopping Street, but it still retains a rustic and historical feel. It is quiet but elegant and leisurely, silently guarding this place. #JapanTravel #JapanFreeTravel #Nara #Shrine
