About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Japan's Edo period, Katsuyama-ku, Kagawa prefecture (not Ishikawa), is home to Hieizan Iwakura-jinja Shrine, but there isn't any shrine with this name above. However, 上富田稲荷神社 is actually located in Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture. It's a Shinto shrine dedicated to the rice god Inari Ōno-mikoto and also enshrines the kami of good luck, prosperity, and agriculture. The shrine complex features a wooden torii gate and a hall with a large shide (shrine canopy).

Cultural Significance

Inari Ōno-mikoto is a significant deity in Japanese mythology, often depicted as a horned god associated with rice, prosperity, and fertility. This shrine also hosts an annual festival called Inari Matsuri in late winter to early spring, where participants carry large torii gates through the streets.
