Hatagaya Hikawa Shrine - Shibuya City

September 24, 2017 Today, there was a store opening at the annual festival and it was exciting. There were many stores and I didn't understand the usual atmosphere. Let's visit again.

Hikawa Shrine in Hatagaya is paying attention to the lineup of Setsumatsusha in the precincts I don't think it was very old In addition to Inari, Itsukushima, Haruna, and Otori Shrine, "Kanjo from Ikoma" is a concern. Speaking of Ikoma, it is the sacred place of Nigihayahi's life, the ancestor of the Mononobe clan, and the place where Emperor Jimmu fought against Nagas Nehiko in the eastern expedition. There is Yataniimasukushitamahiko Shrine in the place called Yada, Ikoma-gun, and it seems that it is also worshiped by Mr. Mononobe and Mr. Hozumi. Mr. Hozumi is a clan from Ototachibanahime, the princess of Yamato Takeru, who is the same ancestor as Mr. Fujishiro Suzuki (Kumano Shrine = Susanoo). Ikoma has a long history, and it seems that relics from the pre-earthenware period that preceded the Jomon period have also been found. In addition, there is Mt. Kusaka in the Kusaka area called Kusaka, and it is thought that the descendants of Prince Ohiko, who is also the ancestor of Mr. Kusaka and Mr. Abe, lived there. In other words, it is a descendant of the son of the 8th Emperor Kogen. Down from there, the 12th generation is Emperor Keiko, and his son is Yamato Takeru. That is the god of Otori Shrine In fact, Yataniimasukushita Shrine (Nigihayahi) and Otori Shrine (Yamato Takeru) have something in common. It means that they are both "bird gods" Nigihayahi was buried at Mt. Miwa, which enshrines the great lord Oomiwa, but in "Kujiki Kujiki", it is written that he returned to Mt. And Nigihayahi seems to have become "Kushitama" Also, according to "Hotsuma Tsutae", Yamato Takeru has been worshiping Omiya Hikawa since he realized that he was a reincarnation of Susanoo. Hikawa is a shrine that enshrines Susanoo and his wife Inadahime together. Inadahime is also written as Kushinadahime or strange Inadahime. Yataniimasukushita Kushitama of Tamahiko Shrine is also considered to be a strange soul. Yada is the god of arrows = the god of the big lord, and can be seen as his wife god. Nigihayahi is a god of worship at Oomiwa Shrine (Omononushi, Omononushi). Nigihayahi = Omononushi Ogami = Susanoo is not wrong even if it is expressed as equal. In that sense, you can see that the same people are actually enshrined at Hikawa Shrine, Hachiman Shrine, and Kumano Shrine. I think it was people centered around the imperial family related to Ikoma.

It is a shrine god of Honmachi, Shibuya-ku, Hatagaya district. In September, the road in front of the shrine is closed and the stalls are crowded. Many shrines also come out. The shrine seems to have a storage facility at one corner of the shrine.

Hikawa Shrine has been around for a long time in this area. He is also a Ujigami.

It wasn't popular at all, probably because it was late on weekday afternoons. Impression that the precincts are wider than at first glance. There seems to be a toilet.

2022/1/1 I visited again because the writer will come on the third day of the new year. It seems that you can only get it if you bring your stamp book. 2021/11/20 I came to worship at the red stamp. When I heard it at the office, it was canceled due to the corona. There is no bookkeeping available. There are no plans to resume it, but it seems that the writer will come on the third day of the new year.

Since I am a local, I visited the shrine for the first time this year without going out. It's been two days, but I'm glad I was able to visit safely without being crowded. The Hachiko Bus runs right next to me, so I went to Sasazuka and had a meal.
