The 2 ichinomiya of Saga
Saga Prefecture holds 2 ichinomiya, covering the old province of Hizen Province.
Not every province here has a settled ichinomiya
For Hizen Province, which shrine is the ichinomiya is not settled. We list every shrine that claims the title and say what each claim rests on.
Opening hours
The counter that sells charms and writes goshuin closes in the late afternoon, even where the grounds stay open. The wording below is the shrine's own, quoted as it stands.

|---|---|
| Chiriku Hachimangu | 社務所 9:00-17:00（佐賀県公式観光サイト「あそぼーさが」。神社の公式サイトには記載なし） |
For the other 1, no source states any hours. Each shrine page carries a phone number where we have one.

Search rental cars on Tabirai (English)

Browse by old province instead
Provinces and prefectures do not line up. A province can be split across several modern prefectures, and a prefecture can contain several provinces. Since the ichinomiya were designated province by province, the province is the truer way in.
