Tamukeyama Hachiman Shrine, Shinto shrine in Nara Park, Japan
The shrine stands near Todai-ji temple, featuring traditional wooden structures and gates positioned at the edge of Mount Wakakusa slope.
Established in 749, the shrine was built to protect Todai-ji temple's construction and initially named Todai-ji Hachiman-gu until the Meiji period.
The shrine honors Hachiman deity along with Emperors Ojin, Nintoku, Chuai, Empress Jingu, and Princess Okami through regular ceremonies and rituals.
Visitors can reach the shrine by following the path behind Todai-ji temple, with the main entrance located near the intersection toward Kasuga shrine.
Each October 5th, the shrine conducts a mikoshi procession that represents the annual return of Usa shrine deities from Kyushu to Nara.
