History
Founded in 951 CE (Tenryaku 5), it has long been a center of local devotion. In 1730 CE (Kyoho 15), Shogun Yoshimune relocated the shrine from its original site—the ancestral home of the wife of Asano Naganori, the central figure in the Chushingura (Loyal 47 Ronin) story—to its current location. It is recognized as one of the Seven Hikawa Shrines of Edo and one of the Ten Shrines of Tokyo with quasi-imperial rites, and it preserves numerous cultural assets.

What visitors say
Despite being surrounded by high-rise buildings, the lush grounds offer a quiet and refreshing space that feels unlike the city center. Visitors pass through an ornate middle gate to worship at the shrine buildings, which are enclosed by white plaster walls. There are two types of Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) available: one for Hikawa Shrine and one for Yonai Inari. Along the approach, portable shrines (Mikoshi) and festival floats (Yamaguruma) used in the annual grand festival are on display.
