Kuragarinomori Hachimansha, Shinto shrine in Japan

Kuragarinomori Hachimansha is a Shinto shrine in Masaki, Naka-ku, Nagoya, also called Wakamiya Hachimangu. It enshrines Emperor Ojin, Empress Jingu and Emperor Nintoku, and its grounds hold a mound called Yoroi-zuka, said to contain the armour of Minamoto no Tametomo. The name Kuragari, "darkness", comes from the dense old trees that once shut out the moonlight.

The shrine was founded during the Kan'ei era (1163–1165), when Minamoto no Tametomo is said to have transferred the kami of Iwashimizu Hachimangū here. In 1511 it served as the tutelary shrine of Ichibu-no-shō, and it was repaired in 1515 by Tsurumi Naochika and Kito Genji. Oda Nobuhide had the hall repaired in 1543, and in 1725 the sixth Owari lord Tokugawa Tsunatomo ordered its renovation.

The name Kuragarinomori, "dark forest", comes from the dense trees that once shaded the grounds so heavily that a poem said moonlight could not reach them; by the Taisho era the shrine was counted among Nagoya's ten famous places. Its annual festival is held on 14 and 15 October. A legend tells of a one-eyed crucian carp from the shrine pond: a boy fed one to his sick mother, she recovered, and he released two carp into the pond in thanks.

The shrine sits in a quiet residential area and is easily accessible on foot, with enough space to explore and reflect. Visitors should take time to notice details such as lanterns, wooden carvings, and the peaceful surroundings.

In the grounds stands a Kabuto-zuka, a mound said to hold the armour of Minamoto no Tametomo, who is credited with founding the shrine. The shrine also keeps a legend of the one-eyed crucian carp: a boy fed one to his sick mother, she recovered, and he released two carp into the shrine pond in thanks.
