About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Matsuyama City, Ihime-dori Shrine is a historic Shinto shrine dedicated to the gods of fertility and prosperity, particularly the kami of rice, beans, and soybeans. The shrine's architecture reflects its role as a guardian of agriculture, with intricately carved wooden pillars and a distinctive roof shape that evokes the image of a giant's footprint.

Cultural Significance

Ihime-dori Shrine is closely associated with the mythology of the god Inari Okami, who is revered as a patron of agriculture and fertility. The shrine is also famous for its bean-planting festival, which takes place in February, where participants compete to see who can plant the most beans in a designated area.
