About this Shrine

Ginza Inari Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in the heart of Tokyo's financial district, known as Ginza. Dedicated to Inari Okami, the Shinto deity of rice, prosperity, and industry, the shrine is famous for its unique torii gate adorned with thousands of fox-shaped lanterns. The shrine's architecture reflects the region's Edo period (1603-1867) style, with a wooden main hall and a traditional garden. Visitors can participate in the annual Inari Festival, which takes place on April 30th, by tossing rice balls into the shrine's inner courtyard.

Cultural Significance

As an Inari shrine, it's customary to toss rice balls into the shrine's inner courtyard as an offering for prosperity and good luck. Fox-shaped lanterns are also a symbol of the shrine's patron deity, Inari Okami.
