[Saitama Prefecture / Top 4 New Year's Shrine Visits] Kawagoe City - Limited Edition Goshuin Stamps Available

Introduction to shrines and temples in Kawagoe, Saitama Prefecture ✨ I went to worship during the New Year 🙌 ① "Kita-in" Main deity: Amitabha Buddha In 1296, during the reign of Emperor Fushimi, it was established as the head temple of the Kanto Tendai sect by the monk Sonkai. Many people visit the Daruma Market on January 3rd. ② "Naritasan Kawagoe Betsuin" Main deity: Acala It began in 1853, when the head priest of Naritasan, Shorin, opened the eyes of a branch of the main deity Acala and bestowed it on Shounshi. The fire-walking festival held in November is a famous attraction. ③ "Kawagoe Kumano Shrine" Enshrined deities: Izanagi-no-Mikoto Izanami-no-Mikoto Kotosaka-no-O-Mikoto Hayatama-no-O-Mikoto The shrine grounds are unique, with a foot-stepping health road covered with pebbles on the approach to the shrine, and a quoits game where you can try your luck. ④ "Kawagoe Hachiman Shrine" Enshrined deity: Hondawake-no-Mikoto It was founded by Kai no Kami Minamoto no Yorinobu in 1030 during the reign of Emperor Goichijo. It is becoming more and more lively as it will celebrate its 1000th anniversary in 2030. In addition to the above, Kawagoe has many other shrines and temples, and Koedo is recommended for its many restaurants where you can eat while walking around! ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥTemple and shrine names Kita-in: 1-20-1 Kosenba-cho, Kawagoe-shi, Saitama Naritasan Kawagoe Betsuin: 9-2 Kubo-cho, Kawagoe-shi, Saitama Kawagoe Kumano Shrine: 17-1 Renjaku-cho, Kawagoe-shi, Saitama Kawagoe Hachiman Shrine: 19-3 Minamidori-cho, Kawagoe-shi, Saitama ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #besttrip2023 #Kawagoe-shi #Tourist spots #Shrines and temples #First visit to a shrine
