About this Shrine

New Yamato Inari Shrine, located in Osaka, is a revered Shinto site dedicated to the worship of Inari Okami, the god of rice, fertility, and prosperity. This shrine is one of many Inari shrines throughout Japan, but its unique history and architecture set it apart from others. The shrine's name, New Yamato, reflects its founding during the Nara period (710-794 CE), when it was built to honor the legendary emperor who unified Japan. Visitors can explore the shrine's beautifully manicured gardens, admire its distinctive torii gate, and participate in traditional ceremonies, including the famous 'rice ball offering' ritual.

Cultural Significance

This Inari shrine is closely tied to the mythology of Japanese rice farming. According to legend, Inari Okami was born from a rice grain that fell into his mouth while he was searching for food. As such, the shrine is said to be particularly auspicious for farmers and those seeking prosperity in their endeavors.
