About this Shrine

Daya Inari Shrine is a Shinto shrine in Kagawa Prefecture, dedicated to the worship of Inari Okami, the god of rice, fertility, and prosperity. The shrine is famous for its thousands of vermilion torii gates arranged in a zigzag pattern along the approach road, symbolizing the twists and turns of a rabbit's path. The shrine complex includes several buildings, including a main hall, a treasure house, and a museum showcasing the history and culture of the area.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is closely tied to the mythology of Inari Okami, who was believed to have created the rice fields of the region. During the autumnal equinox festival, locals offer rice cakes and sake to the god for a bountiful harvest. The shrine's unique torii gate arrangement also reflects the Shinto concept of 'ma' or space, which is believed to be an integral part of the natural world.
