You can reach Yasaki Inari Shrine on foot from several nearby stations, including Inaricho and Tawaramachi on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, each about 10 minutes away. It sits in the Matsugaya area of Taito Ward and fits naturally into a walk around the broader Asakusa neighborhood.
The main draw is inside the main hall: 100 ceiling panels depicting the history of Japanese horsemanship from the age of Emperor Jimmu through the modern era. Photography of the ceiling is permitted, which is unusual for a shrine interior.
