Introduction
Hayashi Shrine is a small shrine in Kangocho, Nara, standing within the grounds of Kango Shrine, dedicated to Hayashi Join, who came from China in the early Muromachi period and introduced the making of manju to Japan, and revered as the 'ancestor of manju'. The shrine is compact and blends into Kango Shrine, and the surroundings are quiet; a manju festival is held each spring, drawing confectioners and visitors.
