Summer Prayers at Musashi Ichinomiya, Known for Its Rabbit Komainu
About this spot
A dignified shrine located in Urawa Ward, Saitama City, also known as Musashi Ichinomiya. Unlike typical shrines, it has no torii gate, and instead of komainu (guardian lions), stone rabbit statues line the approach—a striking and unusual sacred ground that captivates children. The enshrined deities are Toyokawainehimemikoto, Amaterasu Omikami, and Susanoo no Mikoto, and it has been cherished by local people for centuries as a historic shrine. The trees in the grounds create cool shade that softens the summer sun, allowing you to spend quiet moments amid the day's bustle.

Tips
荒天時の開催可否は戸田市・板橋区の各公式発表で確認してください。終了後は最寄り駅(戸田公園駅・戸田駅)への帰路が大変混雑します。フィナーレ後は河川敷で少し余韻を楽しんでから時間差で移動するか、混雑ルートを避けた帰宅経路を事前に確認しておくことをおすすめします。足元が暗くなるので、スマホのライトを活用して安全に移動してください。
