Shika Shrine, Sanjuuden

小鹿野町小鹿野

3.8(12)

A shrine located in Shikano Town, Saitama Prefecture, originating from the legend of the divine deer that guided Emperor Yamato Takeru during his eastern expedition. It is currently known as the 'Bike Shrine,' where riders visit to pray and have their motorcycles purified.

History

The shrine's origin lies in a small shrine built atop the burial mound of the divine deer that served as a guide during Emperor Yamato Takeru's eastern expedition. It was established in 1652 when Shikano Town was developed, by inviting a branch spirit from the original site. However, due to the collapse of the shrine grounds caused by torrential rain in 1910 and the government's shrine merger policy, it has since been relocated to the nearby Suwa Shrine.
