[2025 Chichibu Attraction] Travel Guide for Chichibu Shrine (Updated Mar)

#Tokyo Attractions The suburbs of Tokyo are a good place to enjoy cherry blossoms in spring. This time, I used the Seibu Railway One-Day Pass to visit places such as Chichibu Kawagoe. The scenery is quite good📸👍 Chichibu Shrine is its thousand-year-old historical building, must be included in the itinerary, in the shrine to see a very bright cherry blossom, should be the shrine's guardian plant, makes people feel elegant and beautiful💕 There is also a lot of interesting cultural history inside the shrine, drawings of the three monkeys, dragons and tigers, with a lot of traditional Japanese culture, quite interesting📸 We also saw a giant sacred tree, tied with a traditional Japanese rope knot, the best photo ✌️

Chichibu Shrine ⛩️ 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 Chichibu Shrine was founded when Chichibuhiko enshrined his ancestor during the reign of Emperor Sujin, the 10th emperor of Japan. Chichibuhiko is the 10th generation descendant of Yatogamikane, who was appointed as the first kuni no miyatsuko of Chichibu Province. This is a popular shrine that most people stop by when they visit Chichibu. This time, I visited the shrine after touring various places in Chichibu and learning about the festival at the Chichibu Festival Hall. It was close to closing time, but the shrine was lit up🔦, so I experienced a different atmosphere at Chichibu Shrine than usual. I watched the shrine building close and my trip came to an end. I was able to end my day with Chichibu Shrine! ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Chichibu Shrine ꕥAddress: 1-3 Banba-cho, Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture ꕥAccess: 🚉Seibu Chichibu Station → approx. 16-minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #0 yen travel autumn #shrine #shrine visit #shrine tour #Chichibu #Chichibu sightseeing #Chichibu Shrine

Hahasoreisha Shrine ⛩️ 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 Hahasoreisha Shrine is an external shrine to Chichibu Shrine. It is pronounced "Hahasoreisha." It is adjacent to the Chichibu Festival Hall and is enshrined at the back. According to the shrine's legend, it was built using materials from the remains of the old shrine building donated by Hotaka Shrine in Azumino City, Nagano Prefecture. The "Haha" (柞) comes from the name of the grove of Chichibu Shrine, "Haha no Mori" (柞 Forest). The grounds are fitting for a forest! ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Kasso Reisha ꕥAddress: ꕥAccess: 🚉 Chichibu Station → 4 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #0 yen travel autumn #Chichibu #Chichibu sightseeing #Chichibu Shrine #Shrine #Shrine tour #Shrine worship
