*''Japanese'': 荒田八幡宮 ''(Arata Hachiman guu)''
Arata Hachimangû is a [[Shinto shrine]] in [[Kagoshima]], dedicated to the ''[[kami]]'' [[Hachiman]] ([[Emperor Ojin|Emperor Ôjin]]), [[Empress Jingu|Empress Jingû]], and [[Tamayori-hime]]-no-mikoto.
The shrine was established in the late [[Heian period]], or perhaps the early [[Kamakura period]], as a branch of Ôsumi-shô Hachiman<!--大隅正八幡宮--> (today [[Kagoshima Shrine]]<!--鹿児島神宮-->, and as the main shrine of the Arata ''[[shoen|shôen]]'' (manor).
Smaller shrines to subordinate gods are located at the cardinal points outlining the former boundaries of the manor.
The shrine is also associated with protection from venomous adders, and sells charms (''[[omamori]]'') to help ward off the snakes.
A large camphor (''[[kusunoki]]'') tree on the grounds was designated by the city as a protected plant in 1974.
