About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Ibaraki Prefecture,稲荷大明神 Shrine is a revered Shinto site dedicated to the worship of Inari Okami, the patron deity of rice and fertility. Dating back to the Heian period (794-1185 CE), this shrine has been an important cultural hub for the local community, with its architecture reflecting the Kamakura style of Japan's feudal era.

Cultural Significance

Inari Okami is also associated with the worship of female kami, such as Uka no Onna, who are revered for their power over fate and destiny. The shrine's many torii gates, numbering over 100, are believed to symbolize the countless paths that lead to enlightenment.
