Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine
The history of Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine goes a long way and is said to have started due to the separation of worship of the Ōmiya Hikawa Shrine, a part of MusashiIchinomiya, under the reign of Emperor Kinmei in the 6th century when the culture of the burial mound was passed on. Thereafter, ever since Ōta Dōkan built a castle, it is revered as a Sōja of this place, and is familiarized as “Ohikawa Sama”.
