[2025 Tokyo Attraction] Travel Guide for Hanazono Inari Shrine (Updated May)

My dear family, I recently discovered an amazing place, that is the legendary Thousand Torii Gates leading to the sea! 🌊 From a distance, the densely packed vermilion torii meander along the coastline, contrasting with the azure sea. The strong color contrast makes any shot look great. As you get closer, the sunlight shines through the gaps between the layers of torii, forming golden rays of light and shadows, as if you have entered a mysterious alien world. As you stroll through the cave, the sea breeze brings with it the unique scent of the sea. The wind chimes on the torii gate sway gently in the wind, and the crisp sounds seem to be telling an ancient story. At that moment, the hustle and bustle of the world are left behind. I heard that these torii were built by believers for the purpose of praying for blessings, and they carry countless good wishes. My dear children, coming here you can not only feel the perfect integration of nature and cultural landscape, but also gain peace of mind. Whether you are a photography enthusiast or a travel expert pursuing romance, this is a great check-in spot, so hurry up! #Tokyo Attractions

It's about a 5-minute walk from the Ueno Station Park Exit. If you exit the ticket gate at the Park Exit and go to the left, there is a path that leads to Ueno Park. If you follow that path for a while, you will see the torii gates of Hanazono Inari Shrine. This shrine is said to have benefits for love and matchmaking. The approach to the shrine is beautiful with a row of red torii gates. There were a lot of foreigners taking photos! Because it is an Inari shrine, there were foxes everywhere.

#Sakura2024 #HanazonoInariShrine #Ueno #UenoPark Early-blooming cherry blossoms in Ueno Park🌸🌸🌸 It's right next to the torii gate of HanazonoInari Shrine, so I think it's a great photo spot♪ While there are many tourists, it's relatively empty because it's located quite far back in Ueno Park. I recommend it for those who want to take photos quietly or take lots of photos. I think it's only about 20% in bloom, so it will be at its best in late March. It's one of the places I want to go again✨ Location: HanazonoInari Shrine

Hanazono Inari Shrine is adjacent to Gojo Tenjin Shrine. Its founding date is unknown, but it is said that in 1654, the monk Kokai rebuilt the abandoned shrine! Its former name was Shinobuoka Inari. It was also called Ana Inari because there was a shrine on top of a rock cave. It still exists today, but is fenced off and you can worship inside, but photography is not allowed. The fence makes it seem like trespassing is prohibited, so this is a hidden spot. It is enveloped in a mysterious atmosphere. On the other hand, Senbon Torii is a popular spot and is always full of foreign tourists. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Hanazono Inari Shrine ꕥAddress: 1-29 Ueno Park, Taito-ku, Tokyo ꕥAccess 🚉 Ueno Station → 7 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Shrines and Temples #Shrines Tour #Hanazono Inari Shrine #Ueno Park #Tokyo Trip #Tokyo Sightseeing

Hanazono Inari Shrine is located in Ueno Park. The red Senbon Torii gates are popular, and many foreign tourists stop by to take photos. In autumn, we recommend entering through the torii gate on the Shinobuzaka side rather than through this one! The ginkgo trees and red leaves? Maples? beside the torii gate create a very beautiful sight. The long approach to the shrine is lined with red flags, and there is something very atmospheric about this place too. It's easy to overlook Ana Inari, where photography is prohibited, but it's said to be a power spot and is definitely worth seeing. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ❥❥ Hanazono Inari Shrine 🚉Ueno Station →🚶‍♀️9 minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Hanazono Inari Shrine #Shrines and Temples #Shrines Tour #Tokyo Trip #Tokyo Sightseeing

Hanazono Inari Shrine is located next to Gojo Tenjin Shrine within the grounds of Ueno Park. It is said that in 1654, the monk Kokai rebuilt the shrine and made it the guardian deity of Ueno Hill. As you enter from the "Gojo Tenjin Hanazono Inari Shrine Approach," you will see a row of vermilion torii gates, making it a great photo spot. Perhaps because it is reminiscent of Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine in Kyoto, it is a particularly popular place with foreign tourists. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ❥❥ Hanazono Inari Shrine 🚉Ueno Station → 🚶‍♀️About 9 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Hanazono Inari Shrine #Shrine tour #Tokyo trip #Tokyo sightseeing

#tokyotrip This little shrine at Ueno Park is dedicated to Inari, the God of fertility, agriculture, rice and foxes. It is very easily recognized by the rows of red torii gates creating a mesmerizing tunnel like pathway to the worship area. It is very picturesque to most visitors. Although relatively smaller in size, this shrine offers a relatively peaceful atmosphere and quince area, making it an ideal place for spiritual reflection. However, this Shinto shrine is very crowded during the New Year period where visitors around the Taito region will flock towards the shrine to have their first worship for the year.

Located in Ueno Park. It is called "Ana Inari" and there is still a "Ana Inari" in the precincts, but the entrance was closed. It is also depicted in "Meisho of the Eastern Capital" by Ichiritsusai Hiroshige (the first Utagawa Hiroshige). Foreign tourists were taking photos in front of the torii gate ⛩. It was crowded in front of the torii gate, but there were no people at the shrine, so I was able to pray right away. (Saturday afternoon, June 2023) The neighboring Gojo Tenjin Shrine had many Japanese visitors.

This is a famous shrine in Ueno Park. There are so many red torii gates in this temple, you can see them at the entrance and along the staircase all the way to the main temple hall. I read the travel book and it says the Torii gates are coated with red because Japanese believe that red can drive away evil spirits. The torii gates were gifted by believers. The more torii gates the temple has, the more spiritual the temple is. Worth visiting for its unique architecture, not just religion purpose. Beautiful and peaceful shrine in the middle of Ueno Park where you can get away from hectic and busy lives.

There are a lot of Inari Shrine in Japan, and this is one. The best Inari Shrine that I've seen by far was in Kyoto, but Hanazono Inari Shrine also do not disappoint. You nay rent a Kimono here as well. The best part is that, there are not so many people because it is such a small shrine. I am not sure if it's a part of Ueno Park, but it is quite close to the area. #wintergetaway
