About this Shrine

Located in the Kagawa Prefecture, Futsu-ishi Shrine is a Shinto temple dedicated to the worship of Inari Okami, the god of rice and fertility. The shrine's name translates to 'Stone God Shrine' and refers to a large stone that stands at the shrine's entrance, believed to be an offering by a local samurai during the Edo period. Visitors can explore the shrine's traditional architecture, which reflects the Heian period style, and admire its serene garden.

Cultural Significance

Futsu-ishi Shrine is connected to the myth of Futsu no Okami, a kami said to have been revered by local farmers for its ability to bring fertility and abundance to their crops. The shrine also holds an annual festival in October, during which visitors can enjoy traditional food, drinks, and performances.
