Ukiha Inari Shrine

Kyoto’s Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine apportioned a deity here to Ukiha Inari Shrine, launching the founding in 1957 alongside enshrined deities Matsuo Taisha Shrine (Ooyamakui-no-Kami) and Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine (Sugawara no Michizane). Known as a powerful spiritual site, visitors here often seek blessings for success in business, bountiful harvests, sake brewing, good health, and academic achievement.

The shrine has recently gained popularity due to its visually striking arrangement of 91 vivid vermilion torii gates that trail in a picture-perfect straight line through the greenery. A climb of some 300 stairs leads visitors to the main hall where visitors will find a jaw-dropping panorama of views over the Chikushi Plain. The vivid contrast between the bright red gates, clear blue skies, and expansive green landscape is especially impressive.
During spring, cherry blossoms enhance the beauty of the shrine grounds, including the main hall and torii gates. Many enjoy the view below as it reveals a cherry blossom-lined Kose River, stretching approximately 2 kilometers below. Sunset hours and the shrine’s nighttime illuminations create especially magical scenes.

The shrine’s goshuin (shrine stamps) can be received at the shrine office (500yen handwritten directly, 300yen pre-written), as well as at the local supermarket "Sunpit Value" in Ukiha town.
