Hayatani Shrine
〒738-0026 広島県廿日市市上平良３０８−１
This shrine serves as the general guardian of the ancient province of Aki and is nationally renowned as a deity of protection for traffic safety. It is also famous for the practice of receiving purification rituals (oharai) for the buses and trams of the Hiroden (Hiroshima Electric Railway).
History
Regarded as the oldest shrine in the Aki region, it boasts a history of over 1,800 years. In ancient times, it was designated as the first-ranked shrine (ichinomiya) of Aki Province, though it was later referred to as the second-ranked shrine (niniomiya). From the Muromachi period onward, it has been deeply revered by successive castle lords, Sengoku-period warlords, and the lords of the Hiroshima Domain, who commissioned the construction and restoration of its buildings.

What visitors say
This shrine is characterized by its large stone torii gate, magnificent two-story gate (rumon), and spacious grounds and main hall. White koi fish can be seen in the sacred pond, and there are water sources in the surrounding area. Vehicle purification rituals (oharai) are available without reservation. The shrine is also known as a popular spot for viewing the first sunrise of the New Year. While there is a parking lot, it is unpaved, so visitors should be cautious of mud splashes on rainy days.
