History
The shrine was founded during the Eiroku period (late Muromachi period, Sengoku period). The name 'Hanagao' is derived from the local place name, though there is also a theory that the original name was 'Iinuma Inari'. From the Edo period through the early Meiji period, there was a custom called 'Okomori,' in which women would come from distant places to worship at the shrine.

What visitors say
Located on the mountainside near the river, this shrine features a main hall standing on a cliff, creating a striking presence. In autumn, the contrast between the autumn leaves and the red torii gates is beautiful. Other highlights include the path lined with many torii gates and the child-bearing Inari statues. Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) are available as pre-written copies, but availability may be restricted depending on reception hours or ongoing construction.
