Located at the foot of Mount Hachiman in Shiga prefecture, and a few meters away from the Hachiman Bori canal, Himure Hachimangu Shrine is the largest shrine in Omihachiman. It was first established in 131 by Takenouchi no Sukune. In 275 Emperor Ojin visited the shrine and had a divine vision. He saw two sacred rings around the sun that later lead to the name of the shrine “Himure no Yashiro Hachimangu”, which means Sun Gathering Shrine.
It was during the reign of Empress Jito (690-697) the shrine was renamed Himure Shrine after a famous poem.
