Shrines in Saitama

The shrines of Saitama that MUSUHI TECHO has chosen to introduce.

A sacred precinct some 1,100 meters up, guarded by the wolf messengers called o-inu-sama.

Guardian shrine of the old Chichibu domain, enshrining the deity of wisdom — home of the Chichibu Night Festival.

The "deity of coins," bound to the birth of Japan's first currency, the Wado Kaichin.

Second shrine of old Musashi Province — a sanctuary with no main hall, where the mountain itself is worshipped.
