Hachidai Shrine, Shinto shrine in Japan

Hachidai Shrine is a Shinto shrine in Ichijōji Matsubara-chō, Sakyō-ku, Kyoto, on the slope between the Tanukidani-san Fudō-in temple and the Ichijōji Kudarimatsu/Manshuin road, next to Shisendō. Its wooden worship hall stands among trees, and a section of the old pine from the 1604 duel is kept and displayed inside the shrine building.

Founded in 1294 as the tutelary shrine of Ichijoji, it was transferred here from Gion Shrine. In the early Edo period Miyamoto Musashi fought the Yoshioka school at the nearby Ichijoji Kudarimatsu pine; the shrine keeps a piece of that old pine on display. In the Meiji era it absorbed three smaller shrines: Yaburi no Ushitora Tenno, Burakuji Hachidai Tenno and Hiiragi.

The shrine entrance and rope decorations mark this as a sacred space that locals approach with respect. Visitors bow slightly when arriving and clap their hands twice before making wishes or prayers.

The nearest station is Eizan Electric Railway's Ichijoji Station, about a 13-minute walk (900 m east of the station). The shrine stands on the slope of the path from Tanukidani-san Fudo-in to Ichijoji Kudarimatsu and Manshuin-michi, next to Shisendo.

A section of the old pine from the 1604 duel at Ichijoji Kudarimatsu is kept and displayed inside the shrine building, with a notice stating it is part of the tree from that time. Musashi is said to have come to pray here before the fight, then changed his mind at the last moment.
