About this Shrine

Located in Setagaya, Tokyo, the Kōrakura Inari Shrine is one of the most famous shrines in Japan, specializing in the worship of Inari Ōkami, the Shinto god of rice and prosperity. The shrine's unique architecture features a series of vermillion torii gates leading up to the main shrine building, which is adorned with intricate wood carvings. Visitors can take part in the traditional 'torii gate dedication' ceremony by tying a blue ribbon around the gates as an offering.

Cultural Significance

Inari is often associated with fertility, prosperity, and good harvests. At Kōrakura Inari Shrine, visitors can participate in the 'Festival of Lights,' a springtime event where hundreds of paper lanterns are lit to honor the god.
