Yaguchi Hikawa Shrine
矢口氷川神社Hikawa Shrine sits not far from Nitta Shrine. The deity of the festival is Susano no Mikoto, who is said to preside over storms and plagues and protect people from disasters. In front of the worship hall is a pair of komainu dogs, and right next to it is a fenced "Sansha Inari". At the annual festival held every other August, the large grounds are filled with many people, but the voices of children playing around on the playground equipment can be heard in the quiet precincts on a daily basis.
