Shimomiya Hachiman Shrine
竹原市田ノ浦１丁目６−１２
This shrine is traditionally said to have served as the guardian deity for successive generations of the descendants of Goto Motohara. The Chuko Rock (Loyalty and Filial Piety Rock) within the shrine grounds is said to have been carved by the Karasaki family to promote the ideology of reverence for the Emperor.

History
It is said that Goto Motohara, a vassal of the Kamakura Shogunate, enshrined the deity here in 1192 CE (Kenkyu 3), inviting it from Usa Shrine in Buzen Province. In 1658 CE (Manji 1), the shrine was relocated to its current site by Karasaki Masanobu. Since then, the Karasaki family has served as the hereditary priests.

The spacious shrine grounds are surrounded by lush greenery, featuring a dignified vermilion main hall (honden) that exudes a calm and serene atmosphere. A parking lot is available, and the shrine offers Goshuin (shrine seal stamps), omamori (protective charms), and omikuji (fortune slips). Unlike crowded tourist spots, this is a quiet place where you can enjoy worship in peace.
