About this Shrine

The Spring Miyako Shrine in Kanagawa Prefecture is dedicated to the Shinto goddess of fertility, Inari Okami, and the god of rice, Amaterasu. As one of Japan's oldest shrines, it dates back to the Heian period (794-1185 CE). The shrine is famous for its majestic vermilion torii gate, which stands out against the serene backdrop of Sagami Bay. Visitors can explore the shrine grounds, participate in festivals such as the Spring Cherry Blossom Viewing, and enjoy traditional Japanese cuisine at the nearby food stalls.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is closely associated with the mythology of Inari Okami, who is said to have created the first rice field. The shrine's architecture reflects this connection, featuring traditional Japanese elements such as the torii gate and vermillion paint. Visitors can also participate in the annual Spring Cherry Blossom Viewing festival, which celebrates the blooming of sakura trees.
