About this Shrine

開道石割稲荷 Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in Yamanashi Prefecture, dedicated to the deity Kannon and the rice god, Inari. The shrine's name reflects its significance as an entrance or 'door' stone and the 'splitting of grain', referring to the way farmers split grains by hand using a tool called an 'irigane'. The shrine is known for its beautiful gardens, tranquil atmosphere, and unique architectural style that incorporates both traditional and modern elements. Visitors can experience the serene beauty of this shrine during cherry blossom season or autumn foliage.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is connected to the mythology of Kannon, often depicted as a benevolent goddess who helps those in need. Locals believe that visiting the shrine during certain festivals, such as the autumnal 'Inari Matsuri', can ward off evil spirits and attract good fortune.
