Grid Locale: Hikawa Shrine, Juuban Ward
Hikawa Shrine is a traditional shrine in the Juuban Ward, popular with the nearby folk because it sits on the border between the Juuabn and Pikarigaoka Districts. Its Head Priest is an old man many people just call 'Grandpa' -- a fiery old man. Besides its close location to a lot of people, it's an otherwise normal and pleasant place to be. Hikawa Shrine is also known for its almost bizarrely accurate predictions by the granddaughter of the shrine, who is also a miko at the shrine.

Standing out front is the traditional torii, or 'Shinto Gate' that leads up many stone stairs to the approach to the main hall of worship. There are many boards with prayers and well wishes on them on the path towards the main hall. Around are smaller, simpler buildings with the traditional forked roof ornamentation usually accompanying such shrines: offices, quarters and storage for the shrine. The main hall itself has the traditional 'Komainu' guarding it, their 'lion-dog'-like stares almost daring anyone to cause harm or danger here.

Surrounding the shrine is a small, wooded area, which isn't too thick and shields the Shrine from the nearby busy street that leads back into Juuban Ward.
