About this Shrine

Mishima Shrine, located in the town of Kamo, Shizuoka Prefecture, is dedicated to Inari Okami, the kami of rice and industry. The shrine's current structure dates back to the Edo period (1603-1867), although it has undergone several renovations over the centuries. Visitors can explore the shrine's beautiful gardens, which feature a large torii gate and various shrines dedicated to different aspects of Inari Okami's domain.

Cultural Significance

Inari Okami is often depicted with multiple fox tails, which symbolize abundance and fertility. The shrine holds an annual autumn festival (Koyo Matsuri) to celebrate the harvest season.
