About this Shrine

Woodland Shrine Inari is dedicated to the Shinto god of rice and fertility, Inari Okami. Located in a scenic forested area, the shrine is believed to have been established during the Nara period (710-794 CE) as a humble torii gate marking the edge of imperial hunting grounds. Over time, it has grown into a thriving Shinto site, especially famous for its thousands of vermilion-lacquered lanterns that adorn the forest paths and shrine buildings.

Cultural Significance

This shrine is deeply connected to Japanese rice culture and fertility mythology. The worship of Inari Okami often involves gift-giving of sweets or grains, symbolizing an offering of abundance and prosperity. Lanterns are also a key element in Shinto rituals, representing the light guiding spirits between the mortal world and the divine realm.
