    Saitama Pref. Kawagoeshi Miyashitamachi 2-11
    Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine is said to be over 1,500 years old. The main deity venerated here is Susanoo-no-Mikoto, often worshiped as the god of harmonious families, matrimonial happiness and matchmaking. One popular item is the charm for forming good relationships, made to resemble the red thread that represents the power of the god of matchmaking.

    氷川神社の大鳥居をくぐると直ぐの右手に鎮座しています。 西南戦争以降の川越出身の戦没者2970柱の英霊が祀られています。 特に、江戸幕府との繋がりが強かった故の旧川越藩士たちの微妙な立ち位置を考えさせられました。 西南の役出征日に因む4月12日を例祭日として慰霊祭が催行されるようです。 こちらの社殿は、他の境内社とは一線を画し、神社御神域の御社として大切に管理されています。
