About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Yamanashi Prefecture, Shinshu Ume no Mori Shrine is dedicated to the Shinto god Inari, revered as a patron of rice and fertility. The shrine's design is inspired by traditional Japanese architecture, with a distinctive five-story pagoda and a large torii gate. Visitors can participate in various festivals and events throughout the year, including the spring cherry blossom viewing and the autumn leaf festival.

Cultural Significance

Inari is often depicted as a fox or a man with multiple hands, symbolizing his power to grant wishes. The shrine is also famous for its thousands of vermilion torii gates, believed to be the gates of heaven.
