About this Shrine

Located in the foothills of Mt. Haku, Ifriya Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the deity Inari Okami, revered as a patron of rice and fertility. The shrine's architecture reflects the Heian period, with a characteristic 'twin shrine' layout featuring two torii gates flanking the main hall. Visitors can explore the shrine's serene gardens and experience the tranquil atmosphere of this historic temple.

Cultural Significance

This shrine is famous for its 'tsukubai', a stone basin where visitors can perform purification rituals before praying to Inari Okami. During the spring cherry blossom season, the shrine's grounds are particularly beautiful.
