About this Shrine

Komagome Inari Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in the heart of Ibaraki Prefecture, dedicated to the worship of Inari Okami, the patron deity of fertility, rice, and industry. The shrine's architecture reflects traditional Japanese design, with a prominent torii gate and a forested precinct that houses numerous shrines for various kami. Visitors can explore the shrine's many small shrines, known as 'orients,' each dedicated to a specific aspect of Inari Okami's domain.

Cultural Significance

As one of Japan's 'many temples,' Komagome Inari Shrine shares connections with other Inari shrines nationwide. During the annual 'Inari Matsuri' festival, held in September, devotees perform traditional dances and offer rice balls to the shrine's kami. The shrine is also known for its historic ties to the samurai class.
