About this Shrine

Nara-shi Shinden Inari Taisha is a Shinto shrine in Aomori Prefecture, dedicated to the god of rice and fertility, Inari Okami. The shrine's name 'Shinden' refers to its Nara-period origins, and it is one of the few shrines outside of Nara Prefecture that was directly founded by an imperial family member. Aomori's unique cultural heritage blends in with the traditional Japanese architecture of the shrine.

Cultural Significance

Inari Taisha is closely associated with the legend of Lady Utsusemi and Princess Otohime, who are believed to have introduced rice cultivation to Aomori. The shrine's architecture features traditional Japanese elements such as vermillion torii gates and thatched roof houses.
