Iwashimizu-Hachiman Shrine was built in 859, and one of the most historical shrines in Japan.
Iwashimizu-Hachiman Shrine is located on Mt. Otokoyama in Yawata City, Kyoto Prefecture,
near the boarders between Kyoto and Osaka Prefectures.
From the Yawata-Shi Station, there is a cable car access to Iwashimizu-Hachiman Shrine.
From the Otokoyama-Sancho Station located on the top of Mt. Otokoyama,
you can easily reach to Iwashimizu-Hachiman Shrine.
The atmosphere of the approach of the shrine was very solemn.
At the end of the approach, you will see the main gate of the shrine.
When you pass through the main gate, you will see "Honden", the main shrine buildings.
The main building was rebuilt in 1639 by the third "Shogun" TOKUGAWA Iemistu (1604 - 1651) .
The main shrine buildings are designated as national treasures of Japan.
Iwashimizu-Hachiman Shrine is very well-known for Japanese, not only it's history,
but also the well-known essay, "Tsuredure-Gusa", written by YOSHIDA Kenko
(1283? - 1352?), at the end of the Kamakura Age (1185 - 1333).
