About this Shrine

Matsuyama Shrine, located in the city of Matsuyama, Fukuoka Prefecture, is one of Japan's oldest Shinto shrines. Dedicated to Inari Okami, the shrine is famous for its thousands of vermilion torii gates that form a tunnel up the mountain. The shrine's architecture and traditions reflect its origins as a humble farm shrine, with many of its original structures dating back to the Heian period (794-1185 CE). Visitors can experience the tranquility of the shrine's gardens and forests, where deer roam freely.

Cultural Significance
