About this Shrine

Kashiwagi Shrine, located in the scenic town of Minakami in Ibaraki Prefecture, is dedicated to the Shinto deity Inari Okami, revered as a patron of rice, fertility, and prosperity. Built during the Heian period (794-1185 CE), the shrine's main hall and torii gate are well-preserved examples of traditional Japanese architecture. The shrine grounds feature beautifully manicured gardens and a tranquil pond, providing a serene atmosphere for visitors to connect with nature.

Cultural Significance

Inari Okami is often depicted as a fox or a mountain spirit in Shinto mythology. At Kashiwagi Shrine, devotees leave rice offerings and prayer beads, known as 'shujo,' at the shrine's gates to seek blessings for good harvests and fertility.
