About this Shrine

Rowhouse Inari Shrine, located in the heart of Rowhouse Town in Saitama Prefecture, is a Shinto shrine dedicated to Inari Okami, the kami of rice and industry. The shrine's unique architecture features a distinctive rowhouse-style design, with multiple buildings arranged in rows, reflecting its name and deity. Visitors can explore the shrine's grounds, which include several shrines and smaller altars, as well as the famous 'mud road' where devotees walk barefoot to purify their spirits.

Cultural Significance

Inari Okami is also associated with the myth of the mouse messenger, where a mouse would bring messages between Inari and his followers. This legend has led to the tradition of hanging small tokens or charms on the shrine's gates, symbolizing prayers and wishes.
