Founded in 711. The main shrine of Inari shrines all over Japan. Originally dedicated to the goddess of rice and other foods the shrine later included deities for commerce housing and other aspects of life. The Main Hall (Important Cultural Property) was built in 1499. Thousands of red gates (torii) offer an extraordinary sight - about 4-kilometre vermillion tunnel. The main festival runs from the Sunday nearest April 20 to May 3. The five portable shrines are among the finest in Japan. A fire festival held on Nov. 8 serves to express gratitude to the deities and to pray for well-being of family members.
