Taguchi Hachiman Shrine

 

I'm not sure of the correct name for this shrine. It is in Taguchi and it is a Hachiman shrine.

I can find the shrine on googlemaps, but it is not marked as a shrine so I cant read the name and do any searching.....

At the base of the steps is a small Buddhist "halll".

Architecturally it is very similar to a Hachiman shrine I visited about 30 minutes previously, the one with the dragons and masks in the previous post.

It did seem to be fairly well looked after, so I wonder why its not listed as a shrine on googlemaps. I have seen local shrines disappear from googlemaps, though they are still standing, but maybe not having any ceremonies...

There were some largish ema paintings in the worship hall

And a fairly recent secondary shrine in the grounds....

There was a nice old onigawara and a shachi, .. I guess from an earliet shrine building....

The previous post was on the walk I took this morning on my west to Hiroshima...
