About this Shrine

上町稲荷 Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture. Dedicated to the Amaterasu Ōmikami, the primary deity of the Japanese imperial family, and Inari Okami, the patron god of rice and industry. The shrine's architectural style reflects the traditional design of Edo-era shrines, with a tiled roof and vermillion doors. Visitors can explore the shrine grounds, which feature several small shrines dedicated to different kami, including Ryōgoku Shintai. The shrine is also famous for its vibrant autumnal foliage and New Year's (Oshogatsu) festivities.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is known for its unique 'omiyage' (souvenir) shops where visitors can purchase traditional sweets and other local specialties. The shrine also hosts the annual 'Oshogatsu' festival in January, featuring traditional performances, food stalls, and visits from the shrine's high priest.
