I visit every time I stay nearby, sometimes multiple times on a trip. It is a lovely temple with a park nearby. There are constantly things going on here and it's always worthwhile stopping in. On this trip over golden week, there was a sword demonstration, a drum concert, children's day, and some other event that I couldn't figure out. During festivals, food and games are available. You can get some water and use the toilets here at other times. There is Japanese archery here as well and you can see it on the right on the temple. I have never been inside of the archery house, so I just rewatch from outside. Not sure if they welcome people inside. I love early morning here as it is truly beautiful. It might be worth a special trip to some, but I don't think it is so special that it would be worth a medium to long journey (>30 minutes). Make sure you visit the nearby park, there is radio exercises every morning at 0630. From the temple, leave via the exit to right, cross over the river and walk about 15 minutes to the right. It takes place in one of the playgrounds. You will see people starting to gather around 0620 or so.

On a summer evening, during twilight, you can experience a profound sense of serenity, reminiscent of Studio Ghibli's "Spirited Away." On a related note, the renowned animation director, Hayao Miyazaki, spent much of his youth in this vicinity. My daughters love SevenTeen ice, which you can buy at the vending machine near the main shrine.

An incredible space in the middle of a neighborhood. It’s a massive complex with big tori gates and a long walkway. The shrine itself is magical and tranquil. It is adjoins the Wadabori Park complex along the Zenpuku-ji River. It’s a quiet retreat. It gets busy during New Years as well as cherry blossom season. Enjoy!

▼鎌倉は材木座にある元鶴岡八幡宮は、奥州征伐(前九年の役)の戦勝を源頼義(よりよし)が祈念した社(やしろ)ですが、ここは、その後、奥州への出征途中「吉事や!」と頼義は思い立ち、にわかにその場で戦勝祈念、元鶴岡八幡宮の社と同様に、奥州征伐が成功したあかつきには、立派な八幡宮の建立を約束した場所なのです。 ▼その吉事とは、大空に白雲が八条にたなびき、源氏の白旗がひるがえるようだったということのようで、頼義は、「八幡大神の御守護のしるし」と喜んだと伝えられています。 ▼1053年に始まった前九年の役の途中、頼義は鎮守府将軍の役職任期が完了したので、一度鎮守府のあった仙台・多賀城を後にし、鎌倉で一度体制を立て直してから、また奥州へ向かったようです。 ▼元鶴岡八幡宮や大宮八幡宮もそうですし、更には奥州へ向かう街道中、十里(40㎞)毎に、八幡神社を一社ずつ造りますと誓いを立てながら、幣帛(へいはく)を立てたという事実もあります。八幡づくしではないですか?この頼義の奥州出征は。 ▼ここからは私の想像ですが、頼義は前九年の役の前半戦で、敵である安倍一族と藤原経清(後の奥州藤原氏清衡の父)にやられた感が強いのではないか。もしかしたらトラウマに近い程ではないのか。その反動でここまで八幡大神に頼らざるを得ない精神構造に追い込まれていたのではないか。 ▼だからこそ、前九年の後半戦で出羽の清原一族の助力も得て、安倍一族を厨川柵(盛岡市)で滅ぼすことに成功した頼義は、安倍氏の代表格である安倍貞任(さだとう)の首級を八寸釘で柱に打ち付け、信頼していたのに裏切られた感の強かった藤原経清をわざとなまくらにした刀で痛みが長続きするような殺し方をし、溜まっていた鬱憤を晴らしたのではないでしょうか。 ▼このように奥州征伐に成功した頼義は、八幡大神に誓ったとおり、1063年、京都の石清水八幡宮の御分霊を、ここ大宮八幡宮と鎌倉の元鶴岡八幡宮に勧請するのです。 ▼ここ杉並区の大宮八幡宮も鎌倉の鶴岡八幡宮も前九年の役がきっかけなのですね。

Omiya Hachimangu is a large peaceful shrine just off the banks of the Zenpukuji river in Suginami. Rarely crowded, the shrine and surrounding gardens make for a tranquil getaway from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo and a relaxing stop when cycling or walking along the river.
