About this Shrine

Located in the town of Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture, Inari Okuribi Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the Shinto deity Inari Okami, revered as the patron of rice and industry. The shrine is famous for its thousands of vermilion torii gates that adorn the forested hillsides surrounding it. Visitors often climb up these hills to pray and make offerings to Inari, who is believed to bring good fortune and prosperity.

Cultural Significance

Inari Okuribi Shrine is closely associated with the traditional Japanese festival of Inari-matsuri, which takes place on May 15th. The shrine also features a famous bell that is rung every hour to signal prayer time and to ward off evil spirits. The local kami, Inari Okami, is often depicted in art and literature as a benevolent rice god.
