－Itinerary introduction－

• Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine

Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine has a history of about 1,500 years and is best known for protecting love and praying for fate. The god enshrined in Hikawa Shrine is “the god of harmony and fate between husband and wife.” You can see many ingenious ideas about fortunetelling and marriage related to it in the shrine. In addition, the most famous thing in the shrine is the tunnel composed of “ema” with everyone’s wishes written on it. It can be said to be a well-known check-in hotspot! In addition, every summer, Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine holds the “Wind Chime Festival”. In ancient Japan, people believed that wind can convey people’s thoughts. During the festival, more than 2,000 Edo wind chimes are hung in Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine. Visitors can write wishes on small notes and hang them up. When the wind chimes sound, their wishes are conveyed through the wind. May everyone establish a good relationship, whether in love, family, friendship or work.
