About this Shrine

Its picturesque surroundings make it a popular destination for both locals and tourists seeking a tranquil retreat.

Cultural Significance

Inari Okami is often depicted as a horned, rabbit-like figure, symbolizing fertility and abundance. The shrine is also famous for its 'fox shrines,' where visitors can pray for good fortune and prosperity by leaving offerings of food or coins at the fox statues. During the annual Inari Matsuri festival in May, participants carry vermilion torii gates adorned with paper lanterns and sweet rice offerings to purify their homes and businesses.
