History
This shrine, enshrined in Okegawa, is a historical shrine that enshrines deities from both Hikawa Shrine and Tenmangu Shrine. Although the exact year of its founding is unknown, it is a sacred place for fulfilling people's wishes, such as academic success, prayers for passing exams, and family safety. The precincts have a quiet and calm atmosphere, giving visitors a pure feeling. With the power of the two deities, many people visit to pray for academic improvement and family peace. The deities enshrined in the shrine are said to listen to people's sincere wishes and guide them powerfully. The goshuin contains the dual divine virtues of this shrine.
