About this Shrine

Located in Akita Prefecture, 濡浜稲荷神社 is a historic Shinto shrine dedicated to the god of rice and fertility. Dating back to the early Heian period (794-1185 CE), the shrine has undergone several transformations over the centuries. Its current structure is a result of renovations during the Edo period (1603-1868 CE). The shrine's name reflects its association with the abundance of seawater, which was believed to bring fertility to the surrounding farmlands.
