About this Shrine

Located in the town of Kamakura, Goda Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to Inari Okami, the patron deity of rice, industry, and fertility. The shrine's primary function was as a waystation for travelers on the famous Nakasendo trail, which connected Tokyo with Kyoto. The shrine's architectural style reflects its historical significance as a major stop on this important route.

Cultural Significance

As a major Shinto shrine, Goda Shrine is closely tied to the mythology of Inari Okami. According to legend, Inari was so pleased with the devotion of his followers that he gifted them with a magical fox as their patron deity. At Goda Shrine, you can see statues of these sacred foxes, known as kitsune, throughout the shrine grounds.
