History
As far as I know, this shrine has been rooted in the land of Kawagoe for a long time. As Hikawa Shrine, it has gathered the faith of local people as a deity for warding off evil, good luck, and family safety. Despite being in a quiet residential area, a solemn atmosphere permeates the grounds. The precincts are filled with a pure air that calms the hearts of visitors. The goshuin contains the history of this shrine and the wishes for the healthy lives of the people. It is a place that makes one feel calm every time they visit.
