Suda Hachiman-jinja Shrine｜Wakayama area｜Sightseeing｜Tourist Information｜Japan Heritage: Katsuragi Shugen—The birthplace of Shugendo, a tradition passed down through generations of believers and villagers

The haiden (worship hall) is a wooden, copper-roofed building in a hip-and-gable roof construction

The ceiling of the shinmon gate has a dragon painting

Auxiliary shrines such as Itsukushima-jinja and Imamiya-jinja are found behind the worship hall

Believed to have been founded in 895, this ancient shrine is home to the Suda Hachiman Shrine Mirror, a bronze mirror that has been designated a National Treasure. The mirror is engraved with one of the oldest epigraphs in Japan. The shrine’s autumn festival is a Wakayama Prefecture-designated intangible folk cultural property. In spring, there are spectacular views of the cherry blossoms and the red torii gates of Marutaka-inari-jinja Shrine on the hill behind Suda Hachiman-jinja.
