Nagakubohikawa Shrine - Nerima City

Nagakubo Hikawa Shrine

Unique

It seems to have a long history.

Should I introduce here? Hikawa-sama is the only name, but a shrine is more correct than a shrine. The shrine's name (shrine, shrine, shrine) can be attached freely regardless of size, so even a small shrine can be used. The Kyugo is given by the Emperor, so I can't attach ○ △ shrine or ◇ ▽ Jingu. It used to be an old wooden building, but it looks like it's a new building.

The name Nagakubo remains only as the name of this shrine, bus stop, and street. Wako is a town formed by the merger of Kami-Shinkura, Shimo-Shirakura and Shirako-mura, but Nagakubo seems to be the westernmost settlement in Kami-Shinkura (now Arakura). In the Meiji era, the government undertook a major merger, and at that time there were towns and villages, but some towns and villages were under the control of the county government, and each town and village was to be managed by a master. It seems he was The county's officials were so-called state officials, with more than 600 counties nationwide squeezing the finances of the Meiji government, so a merger was made to reduce the counties and at the same time several towns and villages were merged. It was decided to be. The current Wako City, part of Asaka (depending on the old village), Oizumi, Hoya and Niiza City were formerly Niiza-guns, but will be merged into Kitadachi-gun. However, Kitadachi-gun is a county centered on the current Saitama city and the government office was in Urawa. Until the Edo era, the only places to go to the government office were the local landlords and the elderly, but in the Meiji era, ordinary people began to go to the government office. However, the prefecture and Tokyo city at the time rejected it. However, the Nagakubo village, which was not convinced, had been transferred to Kita-Toshishima-gun without telling Kamishinkura Village. At the same time, Hashido, Tochida, and Kogure were merged into Oizumi, and were also transferred to Kita-Toshima-gun. Nagakubo was apparently absorbed by Oizumi. However, the pathetic part was Niiza-mura, which was now located between Dochida 4-chome and Nishi-Oizumi 4-chome, and apparently did not oppose the merger. However, it was involved in the merger of Nagakubo and Oizumi and disappeared. Niiza village was a cold village with a small population, so it could not be helped. → Niiza City now has the new Meiji era county name when Owada Town and Katayama Village merge in the Showa era, and is different from Niiza Village, which appears in the history of the old region.
