History
Around the 5th year of Tenmei (1785 CE), horse handler Kuraoka Banzou established the shrine using funds from a horse gifted by the incarnation of an Inari shrine. The former name was Garameiki Inari, and it was renamed Banzou Inari Shrine in the 2nd year of Meiji (1869 CE). In the 42nd year of Meiji (1909 CE), the enshrined deities of 16 neighboring shrines were merged, and it was classified as a village shrine.

What visitors say
Located in the mountains at the prefectural border, this mysterious shrine features a row of vibrant vermilion torii gates donated by those whose wishes were granted. Caution is advised as the approach path may freeze during snowy periods. At the top of the stairs lies an Iwasaka (a sacred rock altar). The unique atmosphere blends mountain worship with Inari faith, making it known as a power spot.
