History and things to know
According to shrine tradition, it is said to have begun in Bunshō 1 (1466) when, in a village suffering from a pestilence, an old man who appeared carrying ears of rice caught in a net was revered as Inari Ōkami. After the separation of Shinto and Buddhism it became Koami Inari Jinja; its shrine building and kagura hall, built in Shōwa 4, escaped war damage and are registered as cultural properties of Chūō Ward.
