About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Sapporo, Hokkaido's largest city,稲荷神社 is one of Japan's oldest and most revered Shinto shrines. Dating back to 1869, it was rebuilt after a devastating fire and has since become an iconic symbol of the city's cultural heritage. The shrine is dedicated to the kami Inari Okami, revered as the patron deity of rice, fertility, and prosperity.

Cultural Significance

Inari Okami is often depicted as a fox or a woman with long black hair, symbolizing fertility and abundance. The shrine's famous vermilion torii gate, adorned with thousands of paper lanterns during New Year (Oshogatsu) celebrations, serves as a testament to the Shinto tradition of purification and renewal.
