Saijō Inari Sōhonzan (Saijō Inari Head Shrine)
〒700-0971 岡山県岡山市北区野田４丁目１
This is a Nichiren sect temple known as a rare Inari shrine that still preserves the Shinto-Buddhist syncretic form of worship. It is called the Saijō Inari Head Shrine and attracts one of the largest numbers of visitors in Okayama Prefecture.
History
The temple's origins trace back to the 4th year of Tenpyō Shōhō (752 CE), when the monk Hōon Daishi, receiving an imperial edict from Emperor Kōken to pray for his recovery from illness, attained enlightenment of the Great Bodhisattva Saijō Inari. Later, due to the merit of prayers for the recovery of Emperor Kanmu's illness, donations were made for the construction of the temple, which became the foundation for the current Myōkyō-ji. In the early Edo period, it was revived by Hanafusa Shūhide and converted from the Tendai sect to the Nichiren sect.
