Hachiman Jinja, Shinto shrine in Saipan, US

Hachiman Jinja is a Shinto shrine on Saipan built with traditional Japanese architectural features including sloped roofs and timber framing. Stone pathways are carefully arranged throughout the grounds, guiding visitors through the different areas of the complex.

The original Hachiman shrine was built in 1924 under the Japanese administration of the South Seas Mandate, part of a program to Japanize Ryukyuan and Korean workers on Saipan. It survived the 1944 Battle of Saipan with its main torii down. In 1981 a priest of Kuiizu Shrine in Saitama rebuilt it as Saipan Hachiman Jinja, enshrining Saipan Kunidama, Hachiman and Kuiizu deities, with a new torii made in Japan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.

The shrine is dedicated to Hachiman, and in 1981 it was reconsecrated as Saihan Hachiman Jinja by a priest of the Kuiizu Shrine in Saitama Prefecture, Japan. Its three enshrined kami are Saipan Kunitama Okami, Hachiman Okami and Kuiizu Okami. The torii and shrine building were made in Japan and erected together at that time.

The shrine stands off Kagman Road in Capitol Hill, on Saipan. It is derelict, with a fallen torii and no visitor facilities, so there are no set opening hours or plaques; the grounds are looked after by a local landholder. Ask before entering and watch for unstable masonry.

The shrine's main torii collapsed during the 1944 Battle of Saipan and still lies where it fell. A local landholder says the stone komainu were removed in the 1950s or 1960s, and one of them is said to be at the Saipan Civic Center in Susupe.
