History
The shrine was founded in 1616 CE (Gen'ō 2) when Nagakatsu Nakaoka, the lord of the Oka Domain, invited the Inari deity to enshrine here. During the Tenpō period, after Nagakatsu Nakaoka narrowly escaped disaster thanks to a prophecy revealed by a divine spirit in his dream, he donated the shrine buildings in gratitude for the deity's virtue and bestowed the shrine name 'Oomori' (Fan Forest). Although the shrine was destroyed by fire in 1883 CE (Meiji 16), it was soon rebuilt.

What visitors say
The grounds offer a breathtaking landscape featuring a path lined with vermilion torii gates, statues of foxes (the deity's messengers), and stone lanterns. Visitors must climb many stone steps with significant elevation changes, which requires physical effort but provides a sense of accomplishment upon reaching the top. The parking lot is spacious and well-maintained, and the surrounding environment is pleasant.
