    The best view of the house of Representatives of Iwashimizu Hachimangu Shrine

    Original Text

    It is an Olympic stone pagoda behind Tongu in the House of Representatives at the foot of the Iwashimizu Hachimangu Shrine. It is 6 meters high and is designated as an important cultural property as the largest Olympic stone pagoda in Japan. The voyage memorial tower is said to have been built by a wealthy merchant in Settsu Amagasaki to pray to Iwashimizu Hachimangu on the way back from the Song and Japanese trade to reward him for escaped the marine accident. There are many unknown points, and to comfort the theory of the grave of kazuhisa gyokyo who transferred Hachiman omikami from USA hachimangu shrine to Iwashimizu hachimangu shrine and the spirit of Kamakura samurai ...

    It is a huge Olympic stone pagoda.

    Original Text

    It is a stone pagoda next to Jinoji Temple, which is famous for its autumn leaves. It was a huge Olympic stone pagoda that surprised me at first glance, and sailors wishing for the safety of voyage also visited (there is another theory). If you ever come to Yawata City, please stop by here. I'm really surprised.

    Iwashimizu Hachimangu This stone pagoda is located near Tongu. It was very powerful. It has a long history and dates back to the Heian period. It is one of the largest stone pagodas in Japan and is a must-see spot designated as an important cultural property. I want to not miss it when visiting Omotesando.

    To that point, go to the "Nautical Memorial Tower" in Yawata City, Kyoto

    Original Text

    I visited Iwashimizu Hachimangu and went down the mountain. After passing Ichinotorii, passing by the Hosei River, there is a road to Jinoji Temple on the right, but if you go to the left, you will find the "Nautical Memorial Tower". It was built in the Kamakura period and is designated as an important cultural property. It is well understood that the stone pagoda has a corner and the surface is green, and it has been a long time. I hope it's safe to sail. It's the first time I've seen such a big stone tower.

    It is the largest Olympic stone tower in Japan.

    Original Text

    It is a huge Olympic stone pagoda with a height of 6m and is also designated as an important cultural property. It is said that a wealthy merchant in Settsu Amagasaki built in the year of 1171 ~1174 for the reward of praying to ishishimizu hachimangu shrine on the way back to Japan and Song trade and escaped the marine accident. Since then, it is said that sailors visited 々 every time to ensure the safety of voyages. Another theory is that it is the tomb of a gyokyo ritsushi who solicited Hachimanjin from USA in Kyushu to Mt. Otoko. There are so many people visiting just to see this ...
