The Wakamiya Hachiman Shrine (若宮八幡社 Wakamiya Hachimansha) in Suehiro-chō, Sakae 3-chōme in the Naka ward of Nagoya is a historic Shinto shrine.[1]
It dates back to the Taihō era (701-704).[2] It was the main shrine of the Owari Tokugawa family.
The shrine was destroyed in the bombing of Nagoya in World War II, but rebuilt in 1957.[3][4]
A large festival is held there every May.[5][6]
