Osaki Hachiman Shrine

It's a beautiful shrine but..if you're sightseeing, don't come here on new years day! They cordoned off all the landmarks and set up a "mass praying" station instead. The signs were also very confusing - 参拝順路 and 参拝帰路 were pointing in the same direction. I saw many others that were going in circles like me as well.

Went to Osaki Hachinan Shrine this weekend (Dec 2023). It has a nice environment. I suggest you visit there in one of the festivities/events. We went there a bit late and the sky was also gloomy 😔

Extremely beautiful. You can arrive slightly earlier and explore the temple grounds first. Shrine is open , but the stall that sells charms open only at 9am. There are two entrances and google may take u from the back one, so be sure to look out for the 100 steps main entrance.

This shrine is famous and absolutely beautiful with stunning views. You'll need to climb some stairs to get to the main area, but if you can't take stairs, there's an easier entrance from the car park. You can hop on the loop bus or by the route 870 bus, (If you are taking the 870 bus, then you can get down near the car park entrance) If you are taking the stairs I would recommend 45 mins for the visit. It's a beautiful spot for everyone to enjoy.

Center of Shinto belief in Sendai. Best views for all seasons. Mild amount of staircase to climb before entering the main building. Special collection of sports team prayers on display. Clean and modern bathroom available for the visitors to use. What a great summer day visit!
