About this Shrine

Located in Aomori Prefecture, Dewa Sanzan's Inari Shrine is a prominent Shinto site dedicated to the kami of rice and prosperity. As one of the oldest shrines in Japan, it dates back to the 7th century and features a unique blend of architectural styles from various historical periods. The shrine's main hall, constructed during the Heian period, boasts a distinctive curved roof adorned with vermilion tiles. Visitors can explore the shrine's serene surroundings, including the adjacent Dewa Sanzan National Park, which offers breathtaking views of Mount Iwaki and the surrounding landscape.

Cultural Significance

Inari Shrine is particularly revered for its association with the Inari Okami, a kami believed to patronize farmers and bring prosperity. The shrine's numerous fox statues, known as kitsune, are said to be sacred messengers of the Inari Okami, serving as symbols of fertility and good fortune.
