All Reviews of Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine

A different kind of charm—you slowly fish it out yourself with a fishing rod. It's addictive, and you end up catching more and more!

Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine is famous for prayers for good relationships. The grounds are filled with colorful wish wind chimes and ema plaques, creating a romantic atmosphere.

The shrine is peaceful and elegant, and it also has the famous sea bream omikuji fortunes. It’s a much-loved place to visit and pray in Kawagoe.

Kawagoe in spring is truly as beautiful as a painting!

This time, I visited the Shingashi River behind Hikawa Shrine just as the cherry blossoms were starting to fall. When a gentle breeze blew through, a romantic shower of sakura appeared right in front of me, and I couldn’t help but stop and take it all in. The petals softly drifting onto the river was such a soothing sight.

In a few more days, this spot will probably be full of hanaikada, with the whole river covered in pink petals. I’m sure it will be beautiful in a completely different way.

When you visit Kawagoe, don’t just stroll around the old town. Be sure to take a walk along the Shingashi River and enjoy this spring-only romance.

Hikawa Shrine has an ema tunnel, which is a passageway made from wish plaques. Walking through it feels like your wishes will come true.

Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine really has that authentic Japanese local feel. The fishing rod fortune-telling is especially fun! All of us girls couldn't resist praying for safety and love!

So dreamy~ This is the perfect place to pray for good relationships!👌

Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine is a famous spot in Japan for love prayers. Every time I visit, I get an enmusubi stone for good luck in relationships—it's really effective!

In summer, the shrine is decorated with special wind chimes for good luck. The chimes are shaped like sea bream, and their Japanese pronunciation sounds like 'I want to see you.' That's why so many couples come here.

Drawing fortunes by fishing is such a unique experience! The love fortune even lists the ideal blood type and zodiac sign for your match. It's kind of awkward when it's totally different from your current partner!

This shrine has a strong traditional Japanese vibe. The way they do the fortune slips here is unique and pretty fun.
