What other travelers are saying about Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine
Beautiful shrine with lots of interesting things to do inside! Apart from just paying respect to the God, you can fish for your fortune/relationship, walk around an ancient tree for good luck and wash away your bodily sins in a mini stream. Definitely worth a visit when visiting Kawagoe!
a LOT of photo opportunities!!! Guests wear kimono for this shrine ^_^
There’s a lot of fortune and charms for purchase. Nice place for a walk in nature too.
This is something I would only visit once though 👍
Free shrine to enter
A very old shrine with lots of prayers, there is ceremony for couples and wedding as well. You may buy amulets and get fortune telling in any kind of form like koi fish, animals by putting in your donations.
This shrine is so pretty. I love the ema board tunnel. There are a lot of families with kids as well as students here, so it's quite crowded the day I went to visit. To get here you can take bus number 6 from Kawagoe station. Once done visiting you can go to the town where the Toki no Kane is and try some local delicacies and shop around, you can take bus number 6 to the town from the shrine.
A great shrine to visit in Kawagoe. Most locals also came here to pray.. It is an aesthetic place to take some unique photos of the temple, with wind chimes creating its’ own unique sound & vibe.. It can get crowded & difficult to take some photos, but it was also because we visited during the public holiday.. Recommend visiting on weekdays to fully enjoy the place!
