Mita Hachiman Shrine

In the 2nd year of Wado (709), it was enshrined in a place called Musashi Kuni Makioka as the god of protection of the Eastern Kingdom, and it was said to be the Enki Shiki Uchihieda Shrine. Later, in the 8th year of Kanhiro (1011), he was relocated to the land of Kubo Mita in Mita Town, Musashino Province, and was revered as the god of the Sagagen clan Watanabe party. It is commonly referred to as "Tsuna Hachiman". At the beginning of the Edo period, the monk Kaizon took over the current site in the 5th year of Genwa (1619) and started construction, and the seat was relocated in August of the 5th year of Kanei (1628). It is called Hachimanzan Hozoji Temple and belongs to the Tendai sect. Due to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism, he was reinstated as a separate monk and assumed the position of priest (Ishida Danmasa). In September of the 2nd year of the Meiji era, it was named Hieda Shrine. In January of the same year, the name was changed to Mita Hachiman Shrine, and in April of the same year, the title of Mita was restored to the old name of Mita and the name Mita Hachiman Shrine was made. In May 20, the Edo period shrine was burned down by the U.S. military in an air raid on Tokyo. In Showa 29, the main shrine was rebuilt, and the main hall, worship hall, Kagura hall, and shrine office were rebuilt. Heisei 21 marked the 1300th anniversary of the enshrinement of God. (From HP)
