The Iwashimizu Shrine (or Iwashimizu Hachiman-gū 石清水八幡宮) is a Shinto shrine in the city of Yawata in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. Dedicated to Hachiman, the Shinto god of war, it stands on a wooded hill to the south of the city of Kyoto. It ranks with the Usa Shrine of Usa in Oita Prefecture and the Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gū of Kamakura in Kanagawa Prefecture as one of the three most important Hachiman shrines. It was founded in 859 during the Heian period. During the Edo period, the sculptor Hidari Jingoro, who also worked on the Nikkō Tōshō-gū, contributed to the carvings of the Iwashimizu Shrine.
