About this Shrine

Located in the town of Hikone, Shiga Prefecture, Ōrida Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to Inari Okami, the Shinto god of rice, fertility, and prosperity. As one of Japan's oldest shrines, it dates back to the Heian period (794-1185 CE) and has been an important site for centuries, particularly during the Edo period (1603-1867 CE). The shrine is famous for its beautiful gardens, traditional architecture, and vibrant festivals.

Cultural Significance

Ōrida Shrine is closely tied to the legend of Minamoto no Yoshitsune, a famous samurai leader who sought refuge in the shrine during his exile. The shrine also hosts an annual autumn festival (Koyo Matsuri) to celebrate the changing leaves and honor the local gods.
