About 10 minutes walk from Toyota Station. Founded in 1652 by Kanzaburo Okubo, the lord of Toyota Village. Hieda Shrine, Tenman Shrine, Shirakashi Shrine, and Hachiman Shrine are enshrined in Showa and Heisei. Toyota's total guardian. The deities are Emperor Nintoku, Oyamakui, Sugawara no Michizane, Sarutahiko, and Emperor Ojin. The shrine was built in 1979 and is made of reinforced concrete. The guardian dog was also dedicated at the time of the new construction of the shrine, and the former guardian dog has been moved to the front of the shrine. This tsurudo was dedicated in 1797 and is designated as a cultural property of the city.

Amabie and Yogennotori have come to attract attention due to the coronavirus. Amabie has two heads, a plague-resistant monster, Yogennotori, and is said to have predicted the cholera epidemic in the Edo period a year ago. At the guardian Wakamiya Shrine in Toyota, Hino City, we produce and award the original red stamps of this "Amabie" and "Yogennotori". The trigger is the 'picture book' sold by the author himself in the precincts at the time of the annual festival of Wakamiya Jinja shrine.

I've heard that Hino City has many locations for movies and dramas, but this shrine is also a place where you can fully enjoy the undulating topography of Hino City, and the atmosphere including the green groves was good.

Since it is a shrine in the neighborhood, I visit it every year on New Year's Day. There is also a parking lot, and it is relatively vacant and easy to use. You can also buy fortunes and amulets.

At the height of the public corporation residence, there were many children around here, and the self-governing associations were also developing. At the autumn festival, it was a great excitement such as the sumo tournament. Now my child will go to the sumo tournament, so let's go see it! It doesn't seem to be that trend. The public corporation's house has been rebuilt and has declined steadily, but the main shrine may be watching over such an era background.
