History
Tokiwa Jinja is enshrined in the Tokiwa district of Iwaki City and has long been revered as the guardian deity of this region. The beautiful name "Tokiwa" carries the meaning of "eternally steadfast and unchanging like stone," and embodies the wishes of the people for the lasting prosperity of the area. Walking alongside the history of the Tokiwa district, which flourished through coal mining, it has served as an important place for prayers for the safety of workers and the happiness of families. Even today, as a shrine symbolizing community solidarity, it deepens the bonds of parishioners through seasonal festivals throughout the year. Nestled in the verdant environment of Fujiwara Town, it brings peace to all who visit.
