About this Shrine

Located in the city of Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, Inari Okappi Shrine is dedicated to Inari Onoimikoto, the Shinto god of rice, fertility, and prosperity. The shrine's architecture and traditions reflect its role as a major producer of sake, with many wooden buildings adorned with ornate carvings and bright red doors. Visitors can explore the shrine's numerous shrines and torii gates, each dedicated to a specific aspect of Inari's domains.

Cultural Significance

This shrine is famous for its many fox spirits (Inari-Okappi), which are believed to be enshrined kami and symbolize good luck and prosperity. During the autumn season, visitors can participate in the 'Fox Festival' (Inari Matsuri) to celebrate Inari's role as a patron of agriculture.
