Great Zelkova Tree of Hirose Shrine

狭山市広瀬2丁目23−1

A shrine listed in the Engishiki codex located in Sayama City, Saitama Prefecture. Within the shrine grounds stands a Great Zelkova tree (large zelkova) approximately 800 years old, designated as a cultural property by Saitama Prefecture.

History

According to shrine tradition, during the reign of Emperor Keiko, Prince Yamato Takeru passed through this area on his eastern expedition and enshrined a portion of the deities of Hirose Grand Shrine. In 850 CE, the shrine was designated as an official shrine, and in 927 CE (Engi 3), it was recorded as one of the five shrines in Iruma District, Musashi Province, in the Engishiki codex. During the Meiji era, it was promoted to the status of a prefectural shrine due to the efforts of the shrine priest Shimizu Munetoku.
