About this Shrine

Haginaka Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in the heart of Tokyo's Bunkyo ward, but was originally established in the town of Haginaka, Yamato Province (present-day Nishio), Aichi Prefecture. The shrine is dedicated to the god of rice, Inari Okami, and is famous for its beautiful autumn foliage and unique architecture. The shrine's main hall was rebuilt after being destroyed during World War II, with a new torii gate constructed in 1953. Today, visitors can experience the serene atmosphere of the shrine surrounded by nature, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists.

Cultural Significance

Haginaka Shrine is associated with the mythology of Inari Okami, who is often depicted as a fox or a sake brewer. The shrine is also famous for its unique torii gate, which has been rebuilt several times throughout its history due to damage caused by war and natural disasters.
