History
It is said to have been founded in 869 CE (Jogan 11). Previously known as Kano Tenmangu, it was renamed Hikawa Tenman Shrine in 1868 when the villages of Kami-Kano and Shimo-Kano merged, incorporating the Hikawa Shrine, which served as the tutelary deity of Shimo-Kano Village. During the Edo period, it was a well-known resting place for travelers on the Kiso Kaido road to recover from their fatigue.
