About this Shrine

Eihei-ji Temple's adjacent shrine, Odawara-jinja, was originally dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu (Ōmikami) but was later renamed and re-dedicated in 1868 to Tametomo, a famous daimyo of Edo period. The main deity is believed to be Tamatomo's spirit as well as Inari Okami, with various kami also enshrined, including the Shinto god of rice and industry.

Cultural Significance

Inari Okami plays a significant role at this shrine due to its name 'Eihei-ji Odawara-jinja' which refers to it as 'the temple of the spirit of Tametomo', however Eihei-ji is also famous for being an Inari Shrine in the form of a cave (Kuroba) where thousands of fox statues are placed.
