Hikawa Shrine, Shinto shrine in Takahanacho, Japan

The shrine exhibits nagare-zukuri architecture with elongated lines, standing at the southern edge of Omiya Park among Japanese elm trees.

Founded in 473 BC when the local ruling clan migrated from Izumo, bringing the worship of Susanoo to establish this religious center.

The shrine leads a network of 280 Hikawa shrines across the Kanto region and holds the status of Ichinomiya in Saitama Prefecture.

Visitors can reach the shrine within 5 minutes from Omiya-Koen Station on the Tobu Noda Line or 15 minutes from Omiya Station.

The shrine grounds contain a pond, which remains from the ancient Minuma area, connected to the historical worship of the water deity.
