About this Shrine

Fudou-Inari Shrine is one of the most important Shinto shrines in Japan, dedicated to the god of rice and industry, Inari Okami. The shrine complex covers over 4 hectares and features several buildings, including the main hall dedicated to Inari, as well as the famous yellow torii gate. Visitors can explore the shrine grounds, which include a beautiful garden and several smaller shrines. A popular practice at this shrine is the offering of ema, small wooden or paper tokens with prayer written on them.

Cultural Significance

This shrine is famous for its fox spirits, known as kitsune, which are said to inhabit the grounds and bring good luck to visitors who show respect to Inari Okami. During the annual Obon festival in August, locals offer food and drink to the fox spirits, believing that they will grant them good fortune.
