Musashi Ichinomiya Hikawa Shrine

Reviewed By marfield49 - Singapore, Singapore

In the midst of a concrete Omiya, embarking on the 2km, tranquil tree-lined route towards Hikawa Shrine was truly a lovely journey of peace and reflection. And in autumn in late Nov, the tree colors were a sight to behold. Two tori gates marked the head and end of the route. The shrine complex is huge but understated. There's a water trough upfront for visitors to "purify" oneself before entering the compound) You can get instructions at the tourist booth at Omiya mall when you come out of the train station. An extra perk for us was that many families were celebrating the 753 festival in which 5yro boys and 3 & 7yro girls were dressed in their formal kimono best to celebrate their rte of passage.

Visiting Saitama was an incredible experience made better by swinging by the Bonsai Museum. Mind blowing collection of trees and history in a quiet and calming location. Could have easily spent the whole day there sitting and enjoying the ambiance.
