History
Traditionally said to have been founded in the third year of the reign of Emperor Kōshō (473 CE), this shrine is where Hachiman Taro Yoshika prayed during his descent to the northern provinces. For many years, it was known as Hikawa Shrine, but in the Taishō era, research concluded that the name Hikawa was more appropriate, leading to its current name.

What visitors say
Located within walking distance of Nagi-dani Station, this shrine stands on a high ground accessible via steep stairs, featuring impressive main halls. The grounds are adorned with large ginkgo trees and seasonal flowers, and the view of the town from the torii gate is distinctive. Goshuin (shrine seal stamps) can be obtained as handwritten copies at the office. For those wishing to avoid the stairs, an alternative route via nearby slopes is available.
