About this Shrine

Located in Ibaraki Prefecture, the Ise Grand Shrine is one of Japan's most famous Shinto shrines and not to be confused with the more well-known Ise Jingu located on the island of Ise. However, 稲荷神社 (Inari Okappi) in Ibaraki has many similarities to it due to its historical ties and architectural style. Dedicated to Inari, kami of rice and prosperity, this shrine is famous for its vermilion torii gates and thousands of small shrines called 'tenjin-mya' dedicated to various regional deities. It attracts a large number of devotees particularly those wishing to pray for good harvests or business success.

Cultural Significance

As Inari is the patron deity of merchants and artisans, visitors often pray for success in their careers or business endeavors. The shrine also hosts an annual festival called 'Okappi' in November to celebrate the bounty of the harvest season.
