〒639-2334 奈良県御所市北窪１５８
A Shikinaisha (shrine listed in the Engishiki) located in Kitakubo, Goso City, Nara Prefecture. It is also known as Hikosawa Gongen. Situated at the eastern foot of Mount Kongo, there are ancient theories suggesting it is a site associated with Takamagahara (the High Plain of Heaven) or that it enshrines the spirit of Mount Kongo.

History
The founding date is unknown, but it is presumed to have originally enshrined Takamanohiko, the local land god. Records indicate the existence of a shrine office appointed from within Yamato Province in 806 CE (Daido 1). Subsequently, the shrine was ranked among the Meishan (famous shrines) and received promotions in rank. The current main hall, completed in 1877 (Meiji 10), belongs to a shrine that once worshipped Mount Hakunozan as its sacred mountain.

What visitors say
The approach features rows of cedar trees and white gravel, offering a quiet environment with views of the surrounding mountains. A clear stream flows through the precincts, creating an atmosphere that is both solemn and gently reminiscent of one's hometown. Since the Goshuin (shrine seal stamp) is issued at the nearby Takakamo Shrine, it is recommended to visit both.
