[Saitama Prefecture] Built from excavated stones

Mizonuma Hikawa Shrine 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 A shrine located near the Kurome River in Mizonuma, Asaka City. It is said to have been founded during the Kanbun era (1661-1673). Around that time, when a villager was plowing a field, he discovered a stone with the words "Jirui Gongen" carved into it. The local lord, Nakayama Kanzaburo, founded a shrine to worship Jirui Gongen on the grounds that this place, which was called "Inariyama," had once been the site of a shrine. At the time, it was called Jirui Shrine, but in 1907, it was renamed Hikawa Shrine after the Hikawa Shrine on the grounds was enshrined there. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ••┈┈┈┈ ••✼ ꕥShrine name: Mizonuma Hikawa Shrine ꕥAddress: 6-23-1 Mizonuma, Asaka City, Saitama Prefecture ꕥAccess: 🚉 Asakadai Station → approx. 18 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈ ••✼ #0 yen travel autumn #Asaka city #shrine #shrine tour
