Prince Hachiko
Edit Profile蜂子皇子
Career
After the assassination of his father in 592, Hachiko was forced to flee the Soga clan. He made his way north along the western seacoast of Honshū. He came ashore in Dewa Province, and he invested the rest of his life in religious pursuits.
Prince Hachiko is traditionally venerated at an imperial tomb on the top of Mountain.
Haguro, in Tsuruoka. The Imperial Household Agency designates this location at Dewa Sanzan as Hachiko Shrine (蜂子神社, Hachiko-jinja). Until the end of World World War II, it was guarded by Imperial soldiers.
