Kouyama Hachimangu Shrine
岡崎市六供町甲越7
A shrine with a history of being relocated to serve as the guardian deity of the Kimon (the northeast direction associated with evil spirits) of Okazaki Castle.
History
It originated when Tokugawa Chikamitsu, the fourth generation of the Matsudaira clan in Anjo, established it as the guardian shrine within the castle grounds. In 1562, it was moved to its current location by Tokugawa Ieyasu to serve as the guardian deity of the Kimon of Okazaki Castle. In 1806, the Toshogu shrine was enshrined together in the main hall. Following the Meiji Restoration, under the Order for the Separation of Buddhism and Shinto, it was separated from Kouyama Temple.
