About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Toyama Prefecture, Matsuo Shrine is a historic Shinto shrine dedicated to Inari Okami, the god of rice, fertility, and prosperity. The shrine's architecture reflects its age, with a traditional Japanese-style main hall and a serene garden. Visitors can walk through the shrine's grounds and admire the beautiful autumn foliage during the fall season.

Cultural Significance

Matsuo Shrine is famous for its rice-blessing ceremony, where participants wear white clothing and carry sacred sake jars to purify themselves. The shrine is also said to be associated with the myth of Inari Okami's love for a fox spirit, which is still celebrated during the annual Matsuo Festival in October.
