History
I shall speak of the Nojima Inari Shrine, which stands quietly by the seaside in Yokohama. This shrine has long been deeply revered as the guardian deity of the local fishing industry and as a god of business prosperity. In particular, numerous statues of auspicious foxes are enshrined here, and their forms seem to bring good luck to visitors. While feeling the sea breeze and praying, you will strangely feel a refreshing sensation that cleanses your mind. Many people visit this place to pray for abundant catches and prosperity.
