#SummerCampaign

Mozu Hachimangu Shrine, located in the heart of the Mozu Kofun Group, was founded approximately 1,400 years ago during the reign of Emperor Kinmei, following a divine revelation from Hachiman-no-Okami.
It is said that Empress Jingu vowed to remain here for tens of thousands of years to come and protect the peace and prosperity of the world and all its people. During the reign of Emperor Kinmei, the shrine was named Mozu and dedicated to Empress Jingu.
During the Heian period, it flourished as a large temple and was worshipped by many.
Since ancient times, it has been worshipped as a deity that wards off evil, brings good fortune, and brings success.
During the Moon Viewing Festival, held every autumn, you can enjoy the magnificent Futon Taiko drumming.

Mozu Hachiman Shrine is a shrine blessed with abundant nature and a deep history, and boasts many designated preserved trees. Among them is the giant camphor tree in front of the main hall, which has a trunk circumference of 5.2 meters, a height of 25 meters, and is approximately 800 years old. It has been designated a prefectural natural monument.

It was elementary school time, so the lively voices of children could be heard on the approach to the shrine.
