About this Shrine

Located in the town of Miyairi, Ibaraki Prefecture, Matsuzaki Shrine is dedicated to Inari Ō no Kami and is famous for its beautiful autumn foliage. The shrine's name, 'Matsuzaki,' means 'pine tree' or 'pine grove,' which may refer to the pine trees that surround the shrine grounds. According to local legend, a pine tree fell on the shrine's main hall in 1889, and it has been rebuilt since then.
