About this Shrine

Lawson Shrine, located in the town of Funabashi in Chiba Prefecture, is dedicated to the Shinto deity of law and justice. The shrine's name '法木神社' translates to Lawson Shrine, as it was originally named after a local store called Lawson. However, the shrine's primary deity is Inari Okami, revered for his association with commerce and prosperity. Visitors can admire the beautiful garden and tranquil atmosphere of the shrine, which offers a serene escape from the bustling city life.

Cultural Significance

Lawson Shrine is also associated with the local legend of the 'Yabitsuna no Mikoto', a Shinto deity believed to have descended from heaven to help a poor farmer. The shrine's main hall features a beautiful torii gate and a large Inari statue, symbolizing the deity's patronage over commerce.
