Located at the gate of hell in Kyoto, it is the god who protects against evil, eliminates disasters, seeks marriage and academic success. Hadaishen Shrine is famous because the swordsman Miyamoto Musashi once worshipped the "Ichijoji Left-leaning Pine" in the shrine before the duel with the Yoshioka family. The shrine also enshrines the ancient "Left-leaning Pine" tree that grew during the duel.
