History
Ōe Inari, quietly situated in Jūnichō, Kamakura, is an Inari shrine that has long been worshipped by those praying for prosperous lives, such as business prosperity, abundant harvests, and good fortune. As I pass through the torii gate and step into the quiet precincts, I am enveloped in a solemn atmosphere. The rows of fox statues seem to tell of the shrine's history and the depth of its faith. For those wishing for business prosperity, this must be a special place. The numerous torii gates create a visually striking pathway.
