History

Inugashira Shrine is the place where ancient belief and modern prayer converge. Enshrined in Toyokawa, it has received the hearts of countless women praying for safe childbirth and the prosperity of their families. This shrine watches most closely over the joy of new life being born and the happiness of families growing in size. The radiance of mothers' smiles here after childbirth is incomparably beautiful. The birth of new life is the greatest blessing imaginable.
