About this Shrine

The Toyokawa Inari Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in the city of Agematsu, Nagano Prefecture, dedicated to the deity Inari Okami, who is revered as the patron of rice, fertility, and prosperity. The shrine's current structure dates back to 1751, although it has been rebuilt several times due to natural disasters. Visitors can explore the shrine's five-story torii gate, a unique architectural feature that reflects the shrine's long history.

Cultural Significance

Inari Okami is often depicted as a fox spirit and is associated with the myth of the Rice God, who is said to grant fertility to the land. The shrine's festivals include the Inari Matsuri, held annually in May, where visitors offer rice balls and prayers to the deity.
