Hikosan Jingu (Hikosan Grand Shrine)
〒824-0721 福岡県田川郡添田町英彦山１
Located on Mount Hikosan in Seta Town, Fukuoka Prefecture, this shrine was once a major center for the Saigoku Shugendo (mountain asceticism) tradition.
History
Venerated since ancient times as a sacred mountain, it originally flourished as a temple for Shugendo practitioners. In 1729, the Imperial Prince Reigen bestowed the character 'Ei' upon it, leading to the name Hikosan. Following the separation of Shinto and Buddhism during the Meiji period, it was renamed Hikosan Shrine. The current shrine family, the Takachiho clan, are direct descendants of Prince Shu-yu, who became the head priest in the 14th century.

Situated in a nature-rich mountain area, it offers beautiful autumn foliage. Although the approach path is steep, visitors with limited stamina can use the slope car (cable car) to reach the shrine. Along the path, there are traces of former lodging temples, souvenir shops, exhibition facilities, and a place to receive Goshuin (calligraphic shrine seals).
