This is the most famous of the many thousands of shrines dedicated to Inari. Inari is the Shinto god of rice. This shrine was founded in 711 when Inari was enshrined here.
A map of the shrine
The giant Torii leading to the shrine
Romon Gate
A fox holding a jewel in its mouth
A fox holding a key in its mouth
Foxes are regarded as messengers for Inari
The Haiden
Say a prayer
Writing his wish on the little Torii
Then hanging it here
A pair of joined foxes
