Located in the heart of Sagamihara, Ohmiya Hachimangu Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to Hachiman, the god of war and patron deity of samurai warriors. The shrine's current structure dates back to the Meiji period (1868-1912), but it is believed to be built on the site of an older temple founded during the Edo period (1603-1867). Visitors can explore the shrine's tranquil gardens, torii gates, and historic buildings, including the Hachiman-do Hall, which houses a stunning statue of the deity.
