Konda Hachimangū

Konda Hachimangū (誉田八幡宮) is a Hachiman shrine located next to Konda Gobyo-yama Kofun.

At first the shrine was just a mausoleum in front of the tomb. But it became a major shrine and people made many other shrines.^[1] Many people built other shrines for Ojin in other places and they became Hachiman shrines.^[1] However other people say Kaijin Shrine is the oldest Hachiman shrine.^{[2]: 97–99}
