About this Shrine

Tōgatsu-sha is a Shinto shrine in the Setagaya ward of Tokyo, dedicated to Inari Ōkami, the god of rice and fertility. The shrine's current structure dates back to 1870, but it claims to be located at a site where Emperor Jimmu, the legendary first emperor of Japan, once prayed. Visitors can admire the shrine's vermilion torii gate, which stands out against the urban backdrop. The shrine is also famous for its thousands of vermilion doors, which are believed to bring good luck and prosperity.

Cultural Significance

Inari is a revered kami among farmers and those working in agriculture. In this shrine, visitors often offer rice balls called senbei as a prayer for good harvests. The shrine also hosts an annual autumn festival to honor the god of rice, where devotees perform traditional dances and offer offerings to ensure bountiful crops.
