About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Saitama Prefecture, Adda Shrine is a Shinto temple dedicated to the kami of rice and fertility.

Visitors can explore the shrine's traditional wooden torii gate and enjoy the serene surroundings of the surrounding forest.

Cultural Significance

Adda Shrine is associated with the Shinto deity Inari Okami, patron of fertility and rice, as well as the kami of the forest, believed to reside within its sacred trees. The shrine is also famous for its 'tsukubai,' a stone basin for purification, which visitors are encouraged to use before making an offering.
