History
As a divided spirit of Inari, the Sakiwake Inari Shrine has descended upon this sacred ground. Since ancient times, it has been enshrined in the merchant quarter of Shimogyo, gathering the wishes of countless traders passing through these streets. Within the precincts of Awashimado Sotokuji, the gentle light of the fox welcomes all pilgrims. The power of good fortune and prosperity is, to our knowledge, unparalleled.
