Nestled in the Moji Ward of Kitakyushu, Koso Hachiman Shrine is a tranquil and mystical sanctuary where history and nature come together in perfect harmony. Believed to have been established during the Kamakura period over 800 years ago, this sacred site has long served as a place of worship and solace for the local community. Revered as a “samurai shrine,” it is dedicated to Hachiman, the guardian deity of warriors, and has a rich history as a site where prayers for victory and protection were offered.
