Takamiya Hachimangu Shrine

Takamiya Hachimangu was founded in 715, some 1,300 years ago, when Lord Takagi Gojue received an oracle from Hachiman-taijin and invited Usa Hachimangu to a small wood on the edge of the village of Ikisu, which had 20 to 30 houses at the time.
At that time, a sacred bird descended and perched on a linden tree and chirped "Ana ure ni yaiki osu", which is how the legend came to be known as the Ikisu area.
The shrine has a long history, with a record of many people from the neighbourhood visiting the shrine, as it was difficult to travel to Usa to pay a visit when the shrine was first built.
In autumn, it becomes like a golden carpet with ginkgo leaves.
