Originally built in [[1187]], the [[Hachiman]] Shrine in the Nishijô neighborhood of Aisai City, [[Aichi prefecture]], is believed to be one of the ten oldest shrines in the country.
Dedicated to the spirit of [[Emperor Ojin|Emperor Ôjin]] (who is worshipped as the deity Hachiman), the shrine was rebuilt in [[1470]]. Its main sanctuary is built in an old and rare one-bay-wide style known as ''ikkensha zukuri''.
