Toyokawa Inari Shrine
After visiting the main shrine, be sure to stop by the Spirit Fox Mound. It features a stunning array of over 1,000 fox stone statues, which is an impressive sight. It is not widely known that this Inari shrine is actually part of a temple. Here, you can observe the unique Japanese belief system where gods and Buddhas coexist.
Don't miss the town in front of the gate, either. More than 100 restaurants and souvenir shops line the streets, and the local delicacy "Toyokawa Inari Sushi" is a must-try. It's available in various delightful versions, and its origins are said to stem from rice wrapped in deep-fried tofu used for offerings.
Within the grounds, there are beautiful gardens and numerous artistic works, as well as attractions like the "Osasuri Daikokuten." Toyokawa Inari is a place filled with charm that makes you want to visit again and again once you've been there.
