Iitama Jinja

Iitama Jinja in Wakamiyacho is an ancient shrine that oversees food and the prosperity of family trades. True to the character for rice, as the foundation of people's lives, this shrine has been revered for centuries as the god who guards and guides that foundation. I have watched countless merchants visit and pray here. Like rice gathered in a bowl, each life is cherished and numerous blessings are collected here—that is the character of this place. Those who conduct family businesses, those who understand the importance of food, all come here seeking fortune.
