Tranquil Morning Light at Suwa Hachiman Shrine
朝の光に包まれた諏訪八幡神社の静けさ
Tucked away in the rural town of Hokuto in Yamanashi Prefecture, Suwa Hachiman Shrine (諏訪八幡神社) stands quietly behind two historic school buildings—the Taisho-era Tsugane Elementary School (built in 1924) and the original Old Tsugane School from 1875, both of which I featured in a recent post here: https://www.pix4japan.com/blog/20250408-schools
Though the exact founding date of the shrine remains unknown, Suwa Hachiman Jinja was officially registered as a "village shrine" in May 1872.
Among the quiet cedar and pine trees, you’ll find traditional Shinto architectural details and spiritual markers that tell stories of the area’s cultural roots. One prominent stone monument features a carving of a deity associated with sericulture, holding a branch of mulberry leaves—a vital plant in the cultivation of silkworms, which were once essential to the region’s silk industry.
