"HIKAWA JINJA"

[Hikawa Jinja in Sagamihara]

Hikawa Jinja is in the center of the Adachi area.
In the same way as the "Hikawa Jinja" of Sagamihara, rich farmers of Oyama village collected settlers from nearby villages to found the area in 1843.
Then, in order to raise settlers' morale, a bunrei or "apportioned spirit" was received from a shrine in Musashi Province, Minamitama District.
It was founded that year.
It was called "Inazuma" in those days.
