Stepping back in time, imagine Kodaira during its early development. The Hie-Jinja Shrine, a prominent landmark in Tokyo, traces its roots back to the Edo period. In 1659, a priest named Yamagchi Daikouji established a small shrine on Mt. Nikkou. This shrine served as a branch of the Hie-Jinja Shrine in Akasaka, Tokyo. It was dedicated to the mountain deity, Ooyamakui-no-kami. Hie-Jinja Shrine quickly became a spiritual center for the growing Kodaira community. Years later, in 1750, a devastating typhoon struck the region. The original shrine building was severely damaged. The community rallied together and rebuilt Hie-Jinja Shrine at its current location in 1755. Today, Hie-Jinja Shrine continues to be a place of reverence. Locals and visitors alike come to pay their respects and participate in festivals. The shrine’s serene atmosphere offers a tranquil escape from the bustling city.
