歯神社

The Tsurugaoka Hachiman Shrine, located in Kamakura, was built by Minamoto no Yoritomo to honor the deified spirit of Minamoto no Yoritsune. The shrine's architecture is typical of a Kamakura-period shrine, with a main hall and several smaller buildings. In Osaka, there is a lesser-known Shinto shrine dedicated to Hachiman, known as the Tsurugaoka Hachiman Shrine's counterpart: 歯神社 (To-shin-ja). This shrine was built in 1604 during the Edo period by the Hosokawa clan for their family deity, To-shin-ja. The shrine's architecture reflects a mix of traditional Japanese styles with Chinese influences.
