About this Shrine

門別稲荷神社 is a Shinto shrine located in Dayoh Town, Hiyama Subprefecture, Hokkaido. The shrine's primary deity is Inari Okami, known as Inari Yamabushi no Kami. Dedicated to rice and industry, the shrine was built during the Kamakura period (1185-1333) and rebuilt after a 1896 fire. Inari has many manifestations across Japan, with each region having its own unique characteristics.

Cultural Significance

As a rice shrine, Inari is revered for its role in agriculture and industry. The shrine's architecture is typical of Hokkaido's northern Shinto shrines, featuring a large torii gate and earthen ramp leading to the inner shrine. During the autumnal equinox (September 21-23), locals perform rituals and offerings to ensure bountiful harvests.
