History
Founded in 859 CE (Jogan 1) by Fujiwara no Yoshisuke, it was initially enshrined as a guardian shrine for the Kanmon-in and Enmei-in institutions. Later, due to the deep devotion of Fujiwara no Takeshi, it came to be known as Takeshin Inari. Worship at the current location began during the Genroku era, and in 1873 CE (Meiji 6), it was designated as a village shrine.

What visitors say
Situated within a residential neighborhood, this shrine offers a quiet and serene atmosphere. The grounds feature legends related to Sakamoto Ryoma and Issun-boshi (a one-inch-tall giant), and a variety of omikuji (fortune slips) and omamori (protective amulets) are available. Currently, part of the main hall is under repair due to damage from a lightning strike that felled the sacred tree, with scaffolding and sheets installed in the area.
