Legal Money Washing? Visit Sanko Inari Shrine in Inuyama for Wealth and Good Fortune.

After exploring Inuyama Castle, don’t rush to leave! Just below the ancient castle lies a vibrant red shrine that holds the secret to "legal money washing"—the mystical "Money Washing Pond" at Sanko Inari Shrine ✨! This shrine is dedicated to Inari, the deity of commerce and bountiful harvests. What makes it special is the sacred spring within the shrine. Legend has it that if you wash coins in the pond and carefully keep them, your financial luck will flourish! I personally washed a coin and prayed for my travel funds to double. While I didn’t win the lottery the next day 🤣, I did manage to snag some great discount tickets. The red torii tunnel is also a popular photo spot, stretching all the way to the fox deity statue. The atmosphere is both sacred and enchanting. I highly recommend visiting with a sincere heart and a cheerful spirit to "legally wash money" and make wishes for prosperity. 📍Location: Sanko Inari Shrine Address: 65-18 Kitakoken, Inuyama, Aichi Prefecture (below Inuyama Castle)

Inuyama Castle

#名古屋 June is not very crowded, which is great, and you can walk to the historical buildings #犬山城:战国绝景上云😎 The moment you climb up the Inuyama Castle Tower, the creaking sound of the wooden stairs stops abruptly. This is the oldest castle tower in Japan, and it has been supported by black painted beams and columns for four hundred years. Push open the lattice window, and the clear water of the Kiso River surrounds the castle town like a ribbon, and the mountains of Gifu in the distance gradually fade in the spring haze. The Warring States generals also looked out from here, and the generals had a panoramic view of the territory. When the sunset gilded the castle, the unique warmth of the wooden building and the vast scenery outside the window weaved a quiet beauty that transcended time and space in the interweaving of light and shadow.
