Hirose Shrine
狭山市広瀬２丁目２３−１
A historic shrine located in Sayama City, Saitama Prefecture, and listed in the Engishiki (a 10th-century codex). The enshrined deity is Wakaukanome-no-Mikoto. Within the shrine grounds stands a large zelkova tree designated as a Natural Monument by Saitama Prefecture.
History
According to shrine tradition, during the reign of Emperor Keiko, Yamato Takeru enshrined deities from Hirose Taisha (Hirose Grand Shrine) in Yamato Province while on his eastern campaign. However, it is currently believed that the shrine was named Hirose after a natural geographical feature. In 850 CE (Jōwa 2), it was designated as an official shrine. During the Meiji era, Athena Shrine and Asama Shrine were merged into this shrine, leading to its current status and structures.
