中姫八幡神社 御旅所

Hiroshima

This御旅所 (otabisho) serves as the sacred resting place for the kami of Nakahime Hachiman Shrine during religious processions and festivals, particularly dedicated to Hachiman, the Shinto deity of war, culture, and divine protection. As a temporary dwelling for the divine spirit during matsuri celebrations, it plays a crucial role in connecting the main shrine with the local community through ritual movement of the kami. Worshippers visit during festival periods to receive blessings and participate in the spiritual journey that bridges the sacred and secular worlds.
