About this Shrine

Located in the city of Zao, Yamagata Prefecture, Seven Curves Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the deity Inari Okami, patron of fertility and agriculture. The shrine's name reflects its unique architectural style, with seven curved paths leading up to the main hall. According to local legend, the shrine was built by the gods themselves after a great earthquake damaged the nearby village. Today, visitors can explore the shrine's beautiful gardens, stroll along the winding paths, and make offerings to Inari, seeking blessings for good fortune and prosperity.

Cultural Significance

Seven Curves Shrine is closely associated with the legend of Inari Okami and his role as a protector of agriculture. During the annual harvest festival, visitors can participate in traditional dances and games, such as the 'Inari Okami no Matsuri', which honors the deity's benevolence.
