Yahata Hachiman Shrine in Hakodate !


by Kazu

The gate of the Shrine Yahata Hachiman has the sign of "The Dignity of God" "Kamui" on the upper keel. We have to walk through the side, not the center of the gate because the center part of the gate is for the God.
Of course, we bow toward the sacred house before going through the gate. Basically, all the facilities of the shrine is supported by the donations of the devotees and believers.
The lanterns made of stone were also built with the donations of the citizens and the name of the donors were carved on the surface. The culture rooted in this country must be maintained by our descendants, I think.
