History
In 1773 CE (An'ei 2), Kamei Masasada of the Tsuwa-no Domain received a transfer of the deity from Fushimi Inari Taisha (Fushimi Inari Grand Shrine) and established the shrine on the peak of Otsutani, which corresponds to the demon direction (kimon) of Tsuwa-no Castle. In 1867 CE (Kei'ō 3), Kumano Gongen Shrine was transferred to this site, and the shrine name became Kumano Shrine. In 1927 CE (Shōwa 2), it was renamed Inari Shrine. The name is written with the characters for "Inari" (rice and success) to express the wish for prayers to be granted. It is currently counted as one of the Five Great Inari Shrines of Japan.
