About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Yamagata, the稲荷社 Shrine is a revered Shinto site dedicated to the worship of Inari Okami, the kami of rice and fertility. Built during the Edo period (1864), the shrine's current structure is a blend of traditional and modern styles. The shrine is famous for its numerous shrines located within the complex, each honoring various aspects of Inari's powers.

Cultural Significance

The 稲荷社 Shrine is closely tied to the mythology surrounding Inari Okami. According to legend, the kami's love for sweets led him to create many shrines throughout Japan, each bearing his name. Visitors can participate in the annual Autumn Leaves Festival (Koyo), which celebrates the changing colors of the leaves and the bounty of the harvest.
