History
Hikiino Jinja is an ancient shrine enshrined in the Ryuganji area of Tamana. This region is a land where people have long settled and engaged in agriculture, and the shrine has walked alongside their lives. The name Hikiino carries the meaning of a unit for counting horses, suggesting that this area may have once thrived as a center for horse breeding and transportation. While accepting the prayers and wishes of local people, the shrine has continued to watch over this land for a long time.
