About this Shrine

Indore Shrine, located in the heart of Miyagi Prefecture, is a Shinto shrine dedicated to Inari Okami, the god of rice and prosperity.

Visitors can explore the shrine's grounds, which include several smaller shrines and torii gates dedicated to various kami, as well as a museum showcasing local art and history.
