Renowned as the prestigious top shrine of the former Musashi Province, Hikawa Shrine is the storied landmark that gave the district of Omiya its name. Visitors can wander down a majestic, tree-shaded approach that opens into expansive, tranquil sacred grounds. The surrounding park enhances the visit with vibrant cherry blossom groves, a zoo, and a museum. It remains an essential cultural retreat just a short trip north of Tokyo.
