About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Chiba Prefecture,京極稲荷神社 is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the worship of Amaterasu Ōmikami and Inari Okami. The shrine's name reflects its proximity to Tokyo and its association with rice fields, which are said to have been a source of fertility for the kami. The shrine's architecture is characteristic of the Heian period, with a rectangular main hall and a large torii gate adorned with vermilion paint.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is famous for its association with Inari Okami, who is revered as the patron deity of rice and industry. During the spring equinox festival, the shrine holds a traditional dance performance called 'Odori' to honor the kami.
