About this Shrine

Multiple sites dedicated to Inari Okami, the Shinto god of rice and fertility, can be found in Japan. The Tsukudani Inari Shrine in Akita Prefecture is one of the largest and most well-known shrines in the country. Dating back to the 16th century, the shrine has played a significant role in the region's history, particularly during times of famine or economic hardship. The shrine's architecture is characteristic of the Kofuku-zukuri style, which was popular during the Edo period. Visitors can explore the shrine's many vermilion torii gates, walkways, and buildings adorned with sacred lanterns.

Cultural Significance

This shrine is famous for its many fox spirits, known as kitsune, who are believed to be enshrined here. Foxes are a symbol of Inari Okami and are often depicted in Shinto art and literature.
