History

The founding date is unknown, but until the medieval period, it was located at the northernmost point of the inlet of Minuma Lake. As the chief guardian shrine for the three villages of Urawa, Urawashimo, and Urawa-juku, it originally consisted of two shrines: Hikawa Otaisha (Male Body Shrine) and Hikawa Meotai-sha (Female Body Shrine). Due to the merger of shrines in 1908 (Meiji 41), the Female Body Shrine was renamed Hikawa Kama Shrine, and currently, only the Male Body Shrine remains as Hikawa Shrine.
