Vue d'ensemble

Hikawa Shrine is the head shrine of approximately 280 Hikawa shrines in the Kanto region, and the ichinomiya of ancient Musashi Province, which encompassed modern Tokyo, Saitama, and parts of Kanagawa. The city of Omiya ('Great Shrine') takes its name from this shrine. The 2-kilometer sando (approach road) from Omiya Station is one of the longest shrine approaches in Japan, lined with zelkova and cherry trees. The shrine is set within a primeval forest in the heart of a major city. Emperor Meiji personally elevated the shrine above all others in the Kanto region when he visited in 1868, making it the region's spiritual center during the modernization of Japan.
