Setagaya Hachiman-gu

Setagaya Hachimangu Shrine is a sumo site a one-minute walk from Miyanosaka Station on the Setagaya Line. It began in 1091 when Minamoto no Yoshiie enshrined a deity from Usa Hachimangu, and a dedicated sumo ring remains on the grounds. To the right of the entrance, around Itsukushima Shrine, there is a small waterfall and a pond with carp. Goshuin are received by bringing a written sheet in a container, and when the shrine is unattended, talismans and omamori must be requested through the intercom, with no currency exchange available.
