Description
Shibamata Hachiman Shrine in Shibamata, Katsushika Ward, Tokyo, JapanOur shrine building is built on top of an ancient tomb believed to date from the latter half of the 6th century. This was pointed out because what appeared to be the stonework of an ancient tomb was exposed behind the shrine building, but an investigation starting in 1965 revealed that it was a circular tomb with a diameter of 20 to 30 meters. Shimamata Mound is located behind the main shrine building, and in 1965, the human bones of the main shrine were collected and buried, and a cobblestone mound was built on top of them.
