History
Kawagoe Hikawa Jinja is a sacred site of matchmaking that watches over the little Edo district of Kawagoe. Since ancient times, it has enshrined the great deity Hikawa and has been revered by many for its divine blessings of marital harmony and fulfillment of good relationships. The "enmusubi wind chimes" within the precincts are particularly famous as a summer tradition, and it is said that their cool melodies carry good relationships to visitors. The "one-year-long-life sea bream divination" is also popular—a charming sea bream-shaped fortune slip that brings excitement at the moment of drawing. Together with Kawagoe's historic streetscapes, this is truly a sacred site of love where many pilgrims visit to wish for happiness.
