About this Shrine

The Ai Baba Shrine is a small Shinto shrine located in the city of Moriyama, Shiga Prefecture. Dedicated to the god Inari Okami, it is famous for its beautiful gardens and tranquil atmosphere. The shrine's main hall was built during the Heian period (794-1185 CE), and many of its traditional architectural elements have been preserved to this day.

Cultural Significance

As an Inari Shrine, Ai Baba is known for its association with rice cultivation and fertility. The shrine's gardens feature a large number of fox statues, which are said to be messengers of the god Inari, bringing good fortune and prosperity to the community. During the spring festival, the shrine holds a traditional dance performance called 'Odori,' which honors the god Inari.
