About this Shrine

Futarasan Shrine, located in the town of Minami-Fura in Ibaraki Prefecture, is dedicated to Futsunokami Inari and Takegoshi Inari, two kami worshipped for good fortune and prosperity. The shrine's architecture reflects its humble origins as a local farming village shrine, with a simple yet elegant torii gate and traditional shinden-zukuri-style main hall.

Cultural Significance

As Futsunokami Inari is one of the most important kami in Ibaraki Prefecture, visitors often come to pray for good luck and prosperity. The shrine also celebrates the annual Okuri Mikoshi Festival, where the main mikoshi (portable shrine) is carried through the streets on a decorated cart.
