About this Shrine

The Dewa Sanzan region of Yamagata Prefecture is home to the Dewa Jinsho, a Shinto shrine dedicated to the Kami of the mountain and fertility. The shrine's primary deity, Inari Okami, is revered as the patron god of rice and agriculture. The shrine complex features several unique shrines, including the Dewa Sanzan Okunikai Shrine, which offers stunning views of nearby Mount Zao.

Cultural Significance

As an Inari Okami shrine, the Dewa Jinsho is known for its vermilion torii gates, symbolizing the connection between heaven and earth. The shrine also celebrates the annual 'Inari Matsuri' festival in May, where devotees tie orange strings to the torii gates, believed to bring good luck and prosperity.
