About this Shrine

Located on the island of Shikoku, Outonami Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to Inari Okami, the kami of rice and industry. The shrine's main hall was built in 1766 during the Edo period, with additional structures added in the late Heian period. Visitors can admire the shrine's traditional architecture and explore its beautifully manicured gardens.

Cultural Significance

Outonami Shrine is famous for its matsuri (festivals), particularly the autumnal Yuki Matsuri, which celebrates the shrine's founding and features traditional dances and offerings. The shrine is also believed to be a sacred site for the production of sake, with many local breweries visiting the shrine before their harvest season.
