About this Shrine

Dayri-ine Hoshinsha, located in the town of Tsukudano-machi, Ibaraki Prefecture, is an ancient Shinto shrine dedicated to Inari Okami, the kami of rice and industry. The shrine's name 'dayritsu' refers to a type of Japanese sweet potato, which was highly valued by the local farmers in the past. The shrine's architecture reflects the Edo period style, with a two-story main hall and a large vermillion torii gate. Visitors can explore the shrine grounds, which feature several smaller shrines and gardens, as well as a museum showcasing traditional crafts and tools used in rice farming.

Cultural Significance

Inari Okami is often depicted with multiple fox tails, symbolizing its association with fertility and prosperity. The shrine hosts an annual festival in October, where devotees pray for good harvests and industry prosperity. Visitors can also attend the 'Matsuri' festival in March, which features traditional performances and food stalls.
