Omori Inari Shrine
〒040-0034 北海道函館市大森町２２−６
Located in Omori-cho, Hakodate City, this shrine enshrines Ukanomitama-no-Kami (the deity of rice and sake). Within the shrine grounds, a Bouchou-zuka (a monument honoring the chef's knife) stands as a testament to gratitude toward the blade and a wish for culinary mastery.

History
The exact year of founding is unknown, but it is estimated to be approximately 350 years ago, dating back to around the 9th year of Kanbun (1669). After being destroyed in the Great Fire of 1907 (Meiji 40), the shrine was relocated to its current site in 1910 (Meiji 43). In 1970 (Showa 45), a new non-combustible, vermilion-painted shrine building was constructed with a donation from Takikumo Kihara.

What visitors say
Situated along a road close to the coast, the shrine features a compact yet well-organized precinct. The vermilion-painted shrine buildings, torii gates, and water purification pavilion (temizuya) are eye-catching, flanked by statues of foxes draped in red cloth. Goshuin (shrine seal stamps) can be obtained at the administrative office, and the seaside location allows visitors to hear the sound of the waves.
