Nearby Kawagoe station, not so crowded and peaceful vibe

The Kawagoe Hachimangu shrine is one of the more popular shrines not far from the main area of the city. Very quiet and serene in comparison to other shrines nearby which makes this one an ideal stopping point to rest and recharge.

Hachimangu is a popular shrine to worship at in Kawagoe. For New Years people line up for "hatsumode" the first homage of the year. They put up a large prayer plaque on the fence at the back of the grounds, facing out to the street, with the zodiac sign animal depicted on it. For this year, 2019, it is a boar. There is also a shrine and some other religious paraphernalia on the grounds. They have events during the year including a children's sumo competition. There is some parking on the grounds, but during busy periods it is hard to get a spot. There are coin parking lots nearby.
