Hikawa Tapınağı, Shinto shrine in Honmachi, Shibuya, Japan

Hikawa Shrine in Shibuya is a Shinto shrine with a traditional layout that includes a main sanctuary building, auxiliary structures, and green spaces. The compound features areas for ritual activities, administration, and public worship, all organized in a calm setting surrounded by the city's urban environment.

The shrine's origin is unclear, but it is thought to have been split off from Hikawa Shrine by early settlers of Hatagaya. It appears in a Hojo clan document from the Eiroku era (1558–1569). Its former betto-ji was Shogon-ji. The sanctuary burned in the 1945 wartime fire and was rebuilt in 1956.

The shrine serves as a place where visitors can observe how local residents engage with daily spiritual practices, whether through quick prayers on their way or by attending seasonal festivals. The space displays traditional customs like coin offerings and tying wish papers, showing how faith is woven into neighborhood life.

The shrine stands on ground raised one step above the street; the main approach faces the road through a stone torii and a stone stairway of 11 steps, 9 shaku 11 steps wide, leading to a stone-paved path before the sanctuary. A second stone torii and a sloping approach lie to the southwest. It is about 15 minutes on foot from Nishi-Shinjuku 5-chome Station on the Oedo Line or Hatagaya Station on the Keio Line, and one minute from the Honmachi 5-chome stop of the Hachiko Bus.

The shrine stands on ground raised one step above the surrounding streets, on a 728-tsubo compound. Its stone stairway has 11 steps and is 9 shaku wide, and a second stone torii and sloped approach lead up from the southwest. The sanctuary was rebuilt in 1956 after wartime fire destroyed it in 1945.
