About this Shrine

Inari Daimyojin Shrine in Aomori is dedicated to the Shinto god Inari Okami, revered as the patron deity of rice, fertility, and prosperity. The shrine's architecture is characteristic of a Heian-era (794-1185 CE) temple-style shrine, with a five-story pagoda and several wooden halls. Visitors can explore the shrine's many shrines and halls, each dedicated to a specific aspect of Inari's power.

Cultural Significance

Inari Daimyojin is famous for its thousands of vermilion torii gates that form a tunnel leading to the inner sanctum. The shrine is also associated with the legend of Fox Spirits (Kitsune), said to be messengers of Inari Okami. During the autumnal festival, Tenjin Matsuri, visitors can participate in traditional dances and performances.
