About this Shrine

The Inari Okappi Shrine in Aomori Prefecture is dedicated to the Shinto god Inari, revered as the patron deity of rice, fertility, and industry. The shrine's architecture features a distinctive five-story torii gate, which is said to have been built during the Kamakura period (1185-1333). Locals believe that the shrine's kami, Inari Okappi, watches over the surrounding rice fields, ensuring bountiful harvests and prosperity for the community. The shrine's interior features various fox statues, known as kitsune, which are said to be sacred messengers of Inari.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is deeply connected to local festivals, particularly the Aomori Nebuta Matsuri, which takes place in August. The festival features elaborate parades of giant puppets and lanterns, all while honoring Inari Okappi as the bringer of good fortune.
