About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Ibaraki Prefecture, Inari-jinja Shrine is dedicated to the Shinto god of rice and fertility, Inari Okami. As one of Japan's most famous shrines, it is renowned for its thousands of vermilion torii gates that form a tunnel leading up the mountain, symbolizing the connection between heaven and earth. Visitors can explore the shrine grounds, which include several temples and gardens, and take part in traditional festivals such as the autumn leaves festival, which honors Inari's role as a protector of crops.

Cultural Significance

Inari-jinja Shrine is famous for its fox spirits (Kitsune), which are believed to be messengers of Inari Okami. According to legend, a fox spirit appeared before Prince Shotoku and guided him to this site, leading to the shrine's founding. The shrine also hosts an annual festival in autumn, during which visitors can take part in traditional dances and games.
