Immanuelle/Hakodate Hachiman Shrine is a Beppyo Shrine.[1] Beppyo Shrines are especially important Shinto Shrines in Japan which have historical significance or a large amount of staff and revenue.[1] All original Kanpei-sha and Kokuhei-sha in the Modern system of ranked Shinto shrines were the initial Beppyo Shrines, but over time more shrines were added to this category based on their current status or historical significance which was overlooked in the older system.[1]
A Hachiman shrine (八幡神社, Hachiman Jinja) or Hachimangū (八幡宮) is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the kami Hachiman.[2] It is the second most numerous type of Shinto shrine after those dedicated to Inari Ōkami (see Inari shrine).[2] There are about 44,000 Hachiman shrines
In Japanese religion, Hachiman (八幡神) also known by the older reading of the same characters Yahata (八幡神) is the syncretic divinity of archery and war,[3][4][5] incorporating elements from both Shinto and Buddhism.[6]

It was only later, sometime in the 9th century, that the deity became associated with Emperor Ōjin, and later still that Hachiman became worshipped as the god of archery and war, ultimately becoming the tutelary deity of the Minamoto clan and its famed warrior Minamoto Yoritomo 源頼朝 (1147–99), founder of the Kamakura shogunate
