日招八幡大神社

日招八幡大神社, Shinto shrine in Japan

The 日招八幡大神社 is a Shinto shrine in Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture, whose name means "sun-summoning Hachiman." Its main hall and worship hall burned down in 2000; reconstruction began in 2014, and the new buildings were consecrated on 20–21 April 2015. The grounds also hold subsidiary shrines such as Sasaki-sha, Kasuga-sha and Gion-sha, plus a stone called Otoyo-ishi.

Founded in 589, when provincial governor Ochi no Masumi invited the three Munakata goddesses from Munakata Taisha in Tsukushi to Kadoshima, the shrine was first called Kadoshima Hime Jinja. In 876 Hachiman was jointly enshrined and it became Kadoshima Zai-Shiogama Hachimangu. In 1184 Sasaki Saburo Moritsuna prayed for the sun to stay up during battle and won, so the shrine was renamed Himaneki Hachimangu. The main hall and worship hall burned down in 2000 and were rebuilt, with the transfer ceremony held in April 2015.

Local residents visit the shrine regularly, especially in the mornings, to pray quietly and reflect. People come seeking blessings for health, safe travel, and family happiness, making it a natural part of their daily spiritual life.

The shrine is reached by getting off at the Hoyome bus stop on an Iyo Railway bus and walking about three minutes. The main hall and worship hall were rebuilt after the 2000 fire, with the new hall purified on 20 April 2015 and the transfer ceremony held the next day. Within the grounds, the subsidiary shrines stand west and east of the former main hall site, and the Otata stone lies to the east.

The shrine's name dates from 1184, when Sasaki Saburo Moritsuna prayed for the sun to stay up during battle and it did, so the shrine was renamed Himaneki Hachimangu, "sun-inviting". A stone called Otoyo-ishi stands on the grounds; the main hall and worship hall burned in 2000 and were rebuilt, with the new hall consecrated on 20 April 2015.
