Shimo-Ochiai Hikawa Shrine in Shinjuku, Tokyo 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 It is said to have been founded during the reign of the 5th Emperor Kōshō. It is the guardian deity of the former Shimo-Ochiai village. It is also called the female body shrine, and Takada Hikawa Shrine was the male body shrine, and the two shrines together were called the couple shrines. When I visited at the beginning of February, the plum blossoms were about 20% in bloom. There are also Kawazu cherry blossoms in the precincts, and the chief priest said, "Please come and see them!" ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Shimo Ochiai Hikawa Shrine ꕥAddress: 2-7-12 Shimo Ochiai, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo ꕥAccess 🚉Takadanobaba Station → approx. 10-minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Tokyo sightseeing #Tokyo trip #Shrine visit #Shrines and temples
