About this Shrine

Six-roads Shrine, located in Hatsuno, Tsukui County, was originally a Shinto shrine dedicated to the god of the road and travel. According to legend, it was founded by Saint Goro II in 819 AD. Over time, the shrine has become associated with the deity Inari Okami, who is revered for his role in guiding travelers through the six roads that connected the capital city of Nara with the eastern provinces.

Cultural Significance

As one of the few Shinto shrines dedicated to Inari Okami in the eastern provinces, Six-roads Shrine offers a unique glimpse into the regional traditions and mythological connections that were prevalent during the Heian period. The shrine's architecture reflects this, with its distinctive red torii gate and traditional wooden structures.
