About this Shrine

Misaki Inari Shrine, located in the town of Kamakura, Ibaraki Prefecture, is dedicated to the Shinto deity Inari Okami. The shrine's architecture is characteristic of a Heian-style hall, with a vermilion torii gate and a sacred stone foundation. It is said to be one of the oldest shrines in Japan, with records dating back to the 8th century.

Cultural Significance

Inari is often depicted as a fox spirit, known as Inari Okami no Kitsune, which is revered for its wisdom and fertility. The shrine's altars are decorated with rice baskets and woven straw bags, which are said to be offerings to the deity. During the autumn moon festival, visitors can pray for good luck and prosperity by leaving offerings of rice and other foodstuffs.
