About this Shrine

Located in the scenic city of Ōshū, Yamagata Prefecture, Toyokuni Inari Shrine is a prominent Shinto site dedicated to the rice goddess, Tsukuyomi no Okami. The shrine is famous for its large stone warehouse, known as 'tsukubai', which visitors must rinse their hands before entering the main hall. This sacred ritual symbolizes purification and respect for the kami.

Cultural Significance

During the annual ' Tsukimatsuri' festival, which takes place in July, locals dress up in traditional attire and reenact a legend about the shrine's founding. The shrine also boasts an impressive collection of traditional Shinto artifacts and stunning views of the surrounding mountains.
