About this Shrine

The Inari Shrine, located in Kodaira, Tokyo, is not the correct location, but Kanagawa has a famous Inari Shrine called Inari Okumaya Jinja. Dedicated to Inari Okami, the Shinto kami of rice and industry, this shrine is renowned for its thousands of vermilion torii gates that form a tunnel up the mountain. The shrine's design reflects its primary function as a rice granary, with a large storehouse-like structure at its base. Visitors can explore the winding path between the gates, known as 'sasageyo,' and make offerings to the kami at various stations along the way.

Cultural Significance

Inari is associated with industry, agriculture, and fertility, making it a popular destination for business travelers and newlyweds. The shrine also hosts several festivals throughout the year, including the Spring Festival (Haru Matsuri) and the Autumn Leaves Festival (Koyo Matsuri).
