Osaki Hachiman-gu

Rate this destination:

Osaki Hachiman-gu was established by the Date family to enshrine their guardian deity of his castle on 1607.

It has a flamboyant black and gold exterior that beautifully merges with its interior-- especially the 55 brightly colored, hand-painted flowers on its ceiling.

On January 14th, the shrine holds its annual Dontosai Matsuri, where thousands of scantily clad pilgrims parade to the shrine.
