Iwashimizu Hachiman Shrine
This shrine is considered one of the three great Hachiman shrines in Japan, along with Usa Shrine in Kyushu and Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine in Kanto. The shrine's name is derived from the sacred spring "Iwashimizu" that gushes forth on the mountainside of Mt. Otokoyama, and it is known as one of the nation's leading shrines for warding off evil. Since its founding, it has been deeply revered by the nobility and samurai, and in particular, the Seiwa Genji clan worshipped it as their tutelary deity, making it a popular shrine for those seeking victory. The current shrine building, constructed by Tokugawa Iemitsu, is designated as a National Treasure.
Furthermore, from late March to April, the "Otokoyama Cherry Blossom Festival" is held, featuring various festivals and events that attract many visitors.
