Located in Iwai Nishi 5-chome, Izumo Iwami Shrine is a charming historic building that evokes the atmosphere of old Japan. The oldest main shrine in the prefecture, rebuilt in 1528, is a nationally important cultural property, and its venerable appearance attracts visitors. In addition, the only yabusame (horseback archery) festival in Saitama Prefecture is held here, allowing you to experience a space where nature and history are fused in a place with deep ties to the Izumo clan, who migrated here after the Yayoi period.
