About this Shrine

The Inari Shrine in Tochigi is one of Japan's most famous Shinto shrines, dedicated to the god of rice and fertility, Inari Okami. Located at the foot of Mount Nantai, the shrine is known for its thousands of vermilion torii gates that make up its outer structure, which are said to symbolize the goddess's abundance of grain. The shrine is also famous for its fox spirits, known as kitsune, who are believed to be messengers of Inari Okami and often depicted in shrine artwork.

Cultural Significance

Inari Shrine is closely tied to Japanese mythology, particularly in relation to the concept of 'tsukimi,' or moon viewing. During full moon nights, thousands gather at the shrine to admire the beauty of the moon and pray for good fortune.
