#aprilblooms I dropped by Koenji Hikawa Shrine this spring, and although it’s a compact little spot near the station, it was buzzing with visitors! It has this peaceful, cozy vibe — perfect for a quick spiritual break during a city stroll. The hanachozu (flower-filled water basin) was especially pretty, adding a colorful touch to the shrine’s atmosphere. Even though it’s small, there’s something really charming about this place. Locals clearly love it — I saw a steady stream of people coming to pray and snap a few pics. It’s a lovely stop if you’re in the Koenji area, especially during springtime. Why You Should Visit: ✔ Conveniently located close to Koenji Station, perfect for a quick visit. ✔ Beautiful seasonal flower arrangements in the water basin (hanachozu). 📍Address: 4 Chome−44−19 Koenjiminami, Suginami City, Tokyo 166-0003 #Koenji #Tokyo #Japan #SpringInTokyo #HikawaShrine #Hanachozu

Located in Koenji Minami, Suginami Ward, this shrine is easily accessible from the station! There is a theory that when Minamoto no Yoritomo invaded Oshu, he ordered Adachi Tokuro Morinaga to build the shrine, and another theory is that when his vassal Murata Hyobu stayed in Koenji Village and became a farmer, he enshrined the Hikawa Shrine in Omiya and built the shrine. Either way, it is thought to have been founded during the Tenbun era (1532-15), around the same time as the founding of the Soto Zen sect Koenji temple in the village. The shrine also rose to fame as one of the filming locations for the movie "Weathering with You." ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ❥❥ Koenji Temple Hikawa Shrine 🚉Koenji Station →🚶‍♀️About 3 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Koenji Hikawa Shrine #Shrines and Temples #Shrines Tour #Solo Travel #Tokyo Trip #Tokyo Sightseeing
