About Araki Jinja
Araki Jinja is a historic shrine that is said to have enshrined the fierce spirit of Inari Okami since the first day of the Horse in the fourth year of the Wado era (711 AD), when Inari Okami was enshrined on Mount Inari.
Originally enshrined in Ibaradani on Mount Inari, the shrine took its current form in the early Meiji period with the addition of a shrine building and worship hall that were relocated from the Kyoto Imperial Palace.
The shrine enshrines the principal deities Araki Okami, Shirasuna Okami, and Aratama Okami, and has long been involved in the propagation of faith and the management of the Inariyama government-owned land.
Within the temple grounds, you can find items that convey the atmosphere of that time, such as furniture and sketches used by court nobles when they visited Mount Inari.
During the Showa period, the shrine underwent various improvements, including the construction of the shrine office, the completion of a new shrine building, the renovation of the prayer hall, and the development of the shrine grounds, which shaped the quiet and pure appearance of the shrine that continues to this day.
As a place of prayer passed down from ancient times, we warmly welcome all visitors.
