About this Shrine

Located in the coastal town of Mito, Ibaraki Prefecture's Inari Okugakuji Shrine is one of Japan's oldest Shinto shrines dedicated to Inari, the kami of rice, fertility, and prosperity. The shrine complex features a large vermilion torii gate, traditional Japanese gardens, and numerous small shrines dedicated to various regional deities. Visitors can walk through the serene grounds, take in the stunning views of Suruga Bay, and experience the vibrant atmosphere of this historic site.

Cultural Significance

Inari Okugakuji Shrine is famous for its association with the legend of Inari, a powerful kami said to have created the rice granaries of the region. During the annual 'Inari Matsuri' festival, thousands of visitors carry sacred rice baskets, known as 'fukinagashi,' to honor the deity.
