About this Shrine

Located in the town of Ito, Shizuoka Prefecture, Kagisaki-jinja Shrine is dedicated to Inari Okami, the Shinto deity revered as the patron god of rice, industry, and fertility. Founded during the Heian period (794-1185 CE), the shrine's architecture reflects traditional Japanese style with a wooden main hall and several smaller shrines. As one of Japan's oldest shrines, Kagisaki-jinja has played an important role in local history and culture.

Cultural Significance

Kagisaki-jinja Shrine is closely tied to local folklore, particularly the legend of a samurai who donated his sword to the shrine in gratitude for his good fortune. The shrine also hosts an annual festival in May, which features traditional dances and offerings to Inari Okami.
