Overview

Ukiha Inari Shrine, nestled in the lush landscapes of Ukiha, Fukuoka Prefecture, presents a captivating blend of spiritual significance and scenic beauty. Established in 1957, the shrine is dedicated to three deities, drawing from the revered Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine in Kyoto, Matsuo Taisha Shrine, and Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. This unique combination makes it a sought-after 'power spot,' believed to bestow blessings for business success, abundant harvests, sake brewing, good health, longevity, and academic achievement.The shrine's most striking feature is the seemingly endless pathway of 91 vibrant vermilion torii gates that wind up the mountainside. These gates create a visually stunning tunnel, offering a dramatic contrast against the surrounding greenery and clear blue skies. As visitors ascend the 300 steps, they are rewarded with increasingly panoramic views of the Chikushi Plain. On a clear day, the vista extends to the Harazuru hot spring area and even as far as Amagi.Ukiha Inari Shrine is beautiful in all seasons. Spring brings cherry blossoms, and autumn brings colorful leaves. The shrine is open year-round with no admission fee, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in its tranquil atmosphere and capture memorable photos.
