FU-HACHIMAN SHRINE
 
It is believed that this shrine was built in
729 as a guardian deity for the ancient
provincial goverment offices. Roumon
(a two-tiered traditional entrance), which
has been designated as a prefectural
historic site, has both profundity and
beauty, and represents dignity of old
times. The 40000 square meters premises
are blessed with natural groves, and have
been selected as one of "the best 100
selections of the beautiful hometown".
