Sponsored by Saga Prefectural Tourism Federation<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n At Kashima<\/strong> town in Saga<\/strong> prefecture, there is the shrine named Y\u016btoku Inari <\/strong>which is one of the most famous shrines in Japan <\/strong>dedicated to Inari<\/strong>. I will introduce this famous shrine to you, it is definitely a must-see place<\/strong> if you visit the Saga area.<\/p>\n Y\u016btoku Inari<\/strong> is dedicated to Inari; you may have heard of the kami (the deities in the Shinto<\/strong> religion) represented by a fox. He is one of the principal deities in the Shinto religion<\/strong>, Inari is associated with rice, general prosperity, and worldly success.<\/p>\n It is one of the three largest shrines dedicated to Inari<\/strong>. The other two are Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto<\/strong> and Toyokawa Inari in Aichi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Founded in 1687 by the local lord’s wife, Yutoku Inari shrine has been built on a unique place on the steep hill of a valley.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The entrance is majestic with its beautiful door painted in brilliant colors<\/strong> and bordered by a pond filled with carps<\/strong>. What is impressive when you enter is to discover that its main building is built on a hillside<\/strong>. It is located on large red wooden stilts which are 18 meters high.
