Kadode Hachimangû is a [[Shinto shrine]] in [[Kyoto]] dedicated to [[Hachiman]], patron god of the [[Minamoto clan]], as well as to the spirits of [[Empress Jingu|Empress Jingû]], [[Emperor Ojin|Emperor Ôjin]], and Hime-ô-kami.
The shrine was originally called Uchino Hachimangû, and was founded by inviting the Hachiman deity from [[Usa Hachimangu|Usa Hachimangû]] in Kyushu. It was among a number of shrines dedicated to the protection of the Imperial capital, and was later moved to its current location, the site of the residence of Kaneuri Kichiji, a gold merchant involved in trade with Ôshû (the far north; the [[Tohoku|Tôhoku region]]).
''[[Kadode]]'', normally written as 門出, is a term which sometimes comes up in classical literature. It refers to a practice common in the [[Heian period]] by which people, when leaving on a great journey, would stop first and stay for a period somewhere else, and would then make their true departure from there, and not directly therefore from their own residence. The shrine takes its name from [[Minamoto no Yoshitsune]] having performed this custom at this shrine on [[1174]]/3/3 before departing for [[Hiraizumi]] shortly afterwards. Though he would seek refuge in Ôshû again after the [[Genpei War]] (c. 1185-1189), when he was being pursued by the forces of his brother, the [[Shogun]] [[Minamoto no Yoritomo|Yoritomo]], Yoshitsune's stay at this shrine occurred earlier, in 1174, when he was still being hidden and protected from the [[Taira clan]], who were then in power, and who had spared his life at the end of the [[Heiji Rebellion]].
