Toyokawa Inari Shrine

Toyokawa Inari Shrine

Toyokawa Inari is one of Japan's three major Inari shrines, attracting about five million visitors from across the country with its blessings for prosperous business. Its official name is "Myougon-ji," and it is characterized by being a Soto Zen temple. Since its founding in 1441, it has garnered deep faith from successive military leaders and scholars. The guardian deity of Toyokawa Inari is "Toyokawa Dakini Jinten," who is considered a benevolent god for prosperity in business, family safety, and good fortune among the common people.

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.
