Egota Hikawa Shrine - Nakano City

I wonder if it has been protected for a long time ... The wooden worship seems to be quite old. Surrounded by polite sculptures, it is small but wonderful! Nonetheless, the entrance is a glass door so that you can see the altar inside.

I apologize for not doing the red stamp.

The red stamp is not done.

It is written as below in the explanation board position. The Ekoda Hikawa Shrine is said to begin even though it enshrined Susanowo life here in the first year of Kansei (1460). The current shrine was reconstructed in 1932, but the Kagura shrine (Nakano-ku designated cultural property) was built as a worship hall in the first year of Koka (1846), and has a gou ceiling. Flowers and birds are drawn on. On Sundays, October 1st, a lion dance performed by the people of the Ekoda Lion Dance Preservation Society is dedicated in front of the Kaguraden. On the day of the festival, the Fukano family, who was the owner of the former Ekoda village, departed from the Fukano family to the Hikawa Shrine to create a magnificent lion dance procession. Ekota lion dance belongs to the family of "single-standing lion", and the tower features the characteristic of "three lions", in which a tower of a large lion and a middle lion dances lightly with a female lion. It is said that it is rare for a yak to wear the four gods of Dragon, Genbu, and White Tiger, and it was said that it was used to pray for the retreat of the sickness, and it was also used for the Tokugawa third shogun Iemitsu.

The precincts were clean and tidy. The lion nose of the Chozuya felt dashing. There are new guardian dogs and guardian dogs that feel the history closer to the main shrine, and the guardian dogs that feel the history have a charming look and feel familiar. The guide version states that the current shrine was rebuilt in 1932. The lion nose of the main shrine and the sculpture of the dragon also felt dashing. For some reason, if the office is too clean, I may be the only one who feels that it would be costly to maintain the main shrine without spending money on it.

Egota Hikawa Shrine is said to begin with the enshrining of Susanowo's life here in the first year of Kansho (1460), the middle of the Muromachi period. It is a fairly old shrine whose roots can be traced back to before the Onin War. On the first Sunday of October, a lion dance is dedicated by the people of the Egota Lion Dance Preservation Society in front of the Kagura Hall. On the day of the event, the Fukano family, who was the head of the former Egota village, departed, and the splendid lion dance procession along the way to our company was like a colorful picture scroll. In the olden days, the Egota lion dance was performed as a prayer for the extinction of illness, and it is a shrine that seems to be beneficial in this corona lion dance. It is also said that this lion dance was also used for the viewing of Tokugawa's third shogun Iemitsu. According to the commentary of Tofukuji Temple, which is the neighborhood of the former Betsutoji Temple, this area is a falconry hunting ground for daimyo families such as the Shogun family, and it seems that it was shown as a sideshow during the rest of the falconry hunting. By the way, there is only a shrine that boasts a history of 580 years, and the camphor tree, which is surrounded by a bamboo fence that seems to be a sacred tree and has shimenawa, was quite splendid. Inari Shrine, Kitano Tenmansha, and Kumanohachiman Shrine, which are the last shrines in the precincts, are all located in the bush on the left side of the main shrine, and you can watch the influence of Fuji worship from the lava arranged around them. It's a pretty good shrine, but unfortunately it wasn't done with the red stamp. It was raining when I worshiped, but it was impressive that the cat was walking on the roof of the corridor connecting the shrine office and the main shrine.
