    A shrine reminiscent of Meiji Jingu in Omote Sando. Make sure you do the walk up to the shrine trough the large torii gates, bypassing some interesting art (at least for now) on the way. The shrine itself is a mix of color and wood, with an open setting that is family friendly. When I went there was a goshuin exhibition of shrines in Sumida. A nice shrine away from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo!

    (Translated by Google) I think it is a wonderful shrine that is very calm and preserves history and tradition. Is it one of the attractions that there are many good results when you draw an omikuji? (Laughs) In my case, the rate at which Kichi is drawn is 90% or more. It's a nice power spot that makes you feel energetic because it's relatively close to your home. (Original) とても気持ちが落ち着く、歴史と伝統を守り続ける、素晴らしい神社だと思います。 何故かおみくじを引くと、良い結果が多いのも魅力のひとつ?(笑)私の場合、吉を引く率は90%以上です。 住まいから割と近くにあるのがうれしい、元気になれるパワースポットです。

  • 5/5 赤い彗星 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a shrine with a history of 2400, and it is the head office of approximately 280 Hikawa Shrines that spread around the Kanto area. If you go down the long approach of about 2 km, you will find a beautiful red gate, and if you pass through it, you will find a main shrine and a sacred tree with a solemn atmosphere. It's said to be one of Saitama's leading power spots, and after passing through the gate, I felt the air changed! There are a lot of colorful votive tablets in the pit, which is bright and beautiful. (Original) 2400年の歴史ある神社で、関東を中心に広がる約280の氷川神社の総本社です。 約2キロもある長い参道を進むと朱塗りが美しい楼門があり、それをくぐり抜けると荘厳な雰囲気の本殿や御神木などがあります。 埼玉有数のパワースポットと言われているだけあって、楼門をくぐり抜けたあとは空気が変わる感じを受けました! 納め所にはカラフルなふくろ絵馬がたくさん納めてあり、鮮やかで綺麗です♪

    A wonderful shrine in Saitama, easily accessible from the Keihin Tohoku line. It’s like being in a mini Kyoto in the middle of Saitama. A very popular place with families on weekends as it has ponds and a park. There was also a goshuincho and goshuin exhibition being held.

    (Translated by Google) 679. 2019.09.22 Visit at Saitama Sogokuni Shrine A shrine with a red stamp in Saitama Prefecture "Would you like to visit another company?" So I wonder if it’s not near I wrote the red stamp earlier I decided to ask Mr. Miyaji. "If you go south on the street in front of the shrine There is a parking lot for Hikawa Shrine You should also write a red stamp Because it is the same priest as our shrine." Thank you for telling me. Isn't that Mr. Miyaji? Who are you? If you come here like this, It’s wide, big, and beautiful. It was a shrine full of places to see. Morioka Hachimangu was also pretty It is a masterpiece because it is a shrine that goes even further. Since the purpose is to protect Gokoku Shrine I haven't done any research on other companies I can come to such a famous shrine I was surprised because I had no idea. About 200 companies from Hokkaido in the Arakawa basin 280 companies including Kagoshima At the main shrine of Hikawa Shrine It has a history of being built 2400 years ago. Moreover, Ichinomiya is really wonderful. There are four big and small in the pond alone It is said that there are 8 companies, both Sensha and Suetsusha. There is a Kagura hall and a forehead hall on the premises, The monument of the battleship "Musashi" was also built. The bright tower gate is also beautiful There is a dance hall in the middle of the precincts It was wrapped in a gorgeous atmosphere. I received a red stamp at the award office next to the shrine. There was also an original red stamp book. With Susano and Inada Himemei Takashi Omi (Young Name of the Great Power) It seems that three gods are enshrined. Family safety, prosperous business, easy delivery, matchmaking Such as road safety, disaster prevention, fulfillment of wishes, etc. He said that he would benefit. (Original) 679. 2019.09.22 埼玉縣護國神社さん で参拝をして 埼玉県内の御朱印のある神社を 「 もう1社ぐらい廻ってみるかぁ 」 ということで 近場にないものかと 先程 、御朱印を書いて下さった 宮司さんに聞いてみる事にしました 。 「 神社の前の通りを南に行くと 氷川神社さん の駐車場があるよ 御朱印も書いてくれるはずだよ うちの神社と同じ宮司だから 」 な〜んて教えてくださいました 。 って、宮司さんじゃないの? えっ誰? そんなこんなで やって来ましたらば 、 広いし デカイし キレイだしで まさかの見処満載の神社さんでした 。 盛岡八幡宮さん もなかなかでしたが 更に上をいく神社さんなので圧巻です 。 なにせ護国神社を目的としているので 他社の下調べはいっさいしていおらず こんな有名な神社さんに来れるとは 思うはずもないのでビックリでした 。 荒川流域に約200社 、北海道から 鹿児島まで合わせると280社も あるという 氷川神社 の総本宮で 創建が2400年前という歴史がある 。 しかも 一宮だという 、実に素晴らしい 。 池だけでも大小4つもあって 摂社・末社も合わせて8社もあるという 。 敷地内には神楽殿や額殿があり 、 戦艦「 武蔵 」の碑も建ってました 。 鮮やかな楼門がこれまたキレイで 境内のど真ん中には舞殿があったりして 華やか雰囲気に包まれておりました 。 社殿横の授与所で御朱印を頂きました 。 オリジナルの御朱印帳もありましたよ 。 須佐之男と稲田姫命という夫婦神と 大己貴命 (大国主命の若名) の 3神が祀られているのだそうです 。 家内安全・商売繁盛・安産・縁結び 交通安全・災難除け・心願成就 などの 御利益が得られるとのことでした 。

  • 5/5 kenta s. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) This shrine was really great. (1) The approach is long, and large Japanese zelkova remains, making it a comfortable green road. ② The approach is still used as a park and natural green space for locals to relax. I hope there will be no one who smokes (3) Historical value is also high. There are also Genji of the Kamakura Shogunate, Mr. Gojou who was proud of the power in the Kanto region, Ieyasu Tokugawa of the Edo Shogunate, and the Meiji Emperor after the Meiji Restoration. ④ A good approach to the main shrine. Beyond the Sanno Torii, a little hidden in the forest, cross the pond and become the main gate. This forest is wonderful. ⑤ There is still a big tree in the main hall corridor. You can feel that Kusunoki, which surrounds the Maiden, has been left here as a forest for guardianism since ancient times. ⑥ The park and forest behind it are also wonderful. In the back is a huge tree of red pine, and in the back there is a dense forest of Kusunoki. Dr. Shiroku Honda, who was said to be the father of Japanese forests and parks, was also involved in the planning of Oku no Mori. It is a shrine full of Kanto history, and it still lives as a natural park, green space and forest. (Original) この神社は本当に素晴らしかった。 ①参道が長く、しかも大きな欅などが残っており緑道としても心地よい ②参道が今も公園、自然緑地として地元の人の憩いの場にもなっている。煙草を吸う方がいなくなるといいのだが ③歴史的価値も高い。鎌倉幕府の源氏、その後関東で勢力を誇った後北条氏、江戸幕府の徳川家康、そして維新後の明治天皇の所縁もある ④本殿へのアプローチが良い。三の鳥居を越えて、少し森で隠された先に池を越えて楼門、本殿となる。この森が素晴らしい。 ⑤本殿回廊内に今も大きな木がある。舞殿を囲う楠木など、昔からここに鎮守の森として残されていたことが感じられる。 ⑥背後の公園と森も素晴らしい。奥はアカマツの巨木、さらにその奥に楠木の鬱蒼とした森、などもある。日本の森林、公園の父と言われた本多静六博士も奥の森の計画に携わった。 関東の歴史が詰まった神社であり、今も自然公園、緑地、森林として息づいている。

    2000年以上の歴史がある氷川神社を堪能しました。参道は長く趣きがあり太い木を見ると歴史を感じさせられます。大きな鳥居をくぐりお参りをしたのですがとても落ち着いた気持ちになりました。 日本庭園なみの緑も残っておりゆっくりと時を過ごすには最適だなと、思いました。 途中で雷雨に見舞われてしまいましたが行ってよかったです。 大宮駅から徒歩だと15分以上はかかるので暑さには注意が必要ですね。

    Hikawa Shrine visit really begins from the bus stop on the main road in front of the 7-Eleven. Cross the street and you have a beautiful 900 meter tree-lined pedestrian walk that takes you to the main entrance of Hikawa Shrine. Along the sides of the broad walk you can find the occasional coffee shop or drinks shop if you'd like a break. The Shrine itself is tranquil with natural beauty all around you...it's hard to believe you're in Central Omiya! The architecture of the Shinto Shrine buildings is beautiful and worth several shots if you are a photographer. Overall this is a wonderful experience and a great opportunity to "get peaceful" in today's busy world!

    We walked from Omiya Station to Musashi Ichinomiya Hikawa Jinja. The autumn leaves What a beautiful we took a small stop at the Manju shop. We had finished our Goshuincho and had to purchase a new one. The shrine is beautiful with lots of things to see. There is a park nearby and we enjoyed the sight of the Ginko threes turning yellow.

    A bit far from JR Omiya Station, but it looks spectacular as you step in through the main gate. The big red pillars give way to a predominantly white and black scene, with a more beautiful and colourful shrine building hiding at the back.

  • 4/5 Wolf M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice shrine that is actually many shrines all together. There are several places within the grounds to pay homage and pray. Since my visit was in December it wasn’t as green and touristy as it might have otherwise been. However, it was Shichigosan Day and quite a few children wearing brightly colored kimono were all about along with their well dressed parents and grandparents shepherding them around the grounds. Adorable. There were food vendors at the nearby park selling dango, corn dogs, yakitori, ramen, beer, sake, etc.

    (Translated by Google) A shrine with a vast site that includes all approaches. There were lots of big trees, there were many shades, and I felt that the visit to the hot summer days was cool. The stamp charge for the red stamp is 500 yen. I waited while watching the writing in front of me. While I'm waiting, I get a cool chill from a small open window, but the sun on my back is pretty strong. There are several parking lots, and 40 minutes are free. I didn't know where to enter the parking lot, so I was at a loss at first... ?
