History and things to know
According to the shrine's tradition, it began during the rebellion of Taira no Masakado in Tengyō 3 (940), when Fujiwara no Hidesato prayed to Inari for victory and, following a message in a dream, set up a shrine in a wood where crows flocked. It is said to have escaped burning even in the Great Fire of Meireki, and in Meiji 6 its name was changed from Karasumori Inari to the present one. The present shrine buildings were built in Shōwa 46.
