The annual Chrysanthemum Festival displays over 5,000 potted mums including spectacular 'thousand-bloom' specimens with 1,000+ flowers on a single plant - a tradition spanning over a century.
The shrine is nicknamed 'Kurumishita Inari' (Walnut Shrine), and its signature inari-zushi features walnuts as a local specialty - a unique twist on the traditional rice-filled tofu pouches.
Behind the main hall lies the Kitsune-zuka (Fox Mound), where dozens of fox statues gather in a sacred congregation - a hidden spot most visitors miss but locals recommend exploring.
Founded in 651 CE, this shrine has witnessed over 1,370 years of history, making it one of Japan's most ancient Inari shrines - predating even the famous Fushimi Inari by centuries.
