About this Shrine

Located in Ibaraki Prefecture, the稲荷神社 is a Shinto shrine dedicated to Amaterasu Omikami, the sun goddess and principal deity of the Japanese pantheon. As one of Japan's oldest shrines, it dates back to the early Heian period (794-1185 CE). The shrine's architecture reflects its historical significance, with a traditional vermilion gate and a five-story pagoda. Visitors can explore the shrine grounds, which include a torii gate, a honden, and several smaller shrines.

Cultural Significance

The 稲荷神社 is closely tied to the mythology of rice, which was revered by the ancient Japanese. The shrine is also famous for its 'Saijō-sama' festival, which takes place every seven years and honors Amaterasu as a symbol of fertility and prosperity.
