Fushimi Inari Shrine, Hokkaido
This shrine was founded in April 1884 by the first head priest of Sapporo Shrine, Shigeo Nomura, who invited the Inari Shrine in Fushimi, Kyoto, to be built, and a branch deity was enshrined in Minamigojo Higashi 1-chome, Sapporo Ward. In March 1897, the shrine was moved to Juuniken in Kotoni Village, and in February 1907, it was moved to its current location on Mt. Moiwa. Since then, this area has been called Fushimi, in line with the main shrine in Kyoto. In 1919, it was promoted to village shrine rank, and in 1941, it was promoted to village shrine.
Inari, the deity enshrined at this shrine, is the ancestor of food, clothing, and shelter, and the guardian deity of bountiful harvests, industrial development, and prosperous business, and is revered by all people for his divine power, which is why he is so highly revered.
In 1984, to mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of this shrine, we planned to expand the main shrine and shrine office as a commemorative project. This construction was intended to give back to the vast blessings of the gods, to cultivate a sense of reverence for the gods and to protect the beautiful moral customs unique to the Japanese people. With the warm support of the parishioners and worshippers, we were able to see the completion in 1987.
In 2014, we celebrated the 130th anniversary of the shrine's founding.
The main shrine, which is a place to enshrine the deity that houses the divine spirit, was moved to its current location on Mt. Moiwa in February 1907.
As for the torii gates, there are 27 in total, all painted vermilion, just like those at Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto.

Wish Stone
This is a stone that is said to grant wishes. Write your wish on the "Wish Stone Charm" and tie it next to the wish stone before you go home. It is also said that when making a wish, it is good to "give up one thing you like."
Aramitama Shrine
Aramitama (Aramitama) and Nigimitama (Nigimitama) are concepts in Shinto that refer to the two aspects of a god. Aramitama is the wild side of a god, a violent spirit. Aramitama is the curse of a god, which is a manifestation of Aramitama. In contrast, Nigimitama is the gentle, peaceful side of a god, such as the blessings of rain and sunlight. Aramitama is the blessing of a god, which is a manifestation of Nigimitama. Aramitama and Nigimitama are the same god, but they have such strong personalities that they appear to be different gods, and in fact they are given different names, and are sometimes enshrined separately, such as the main shrine and Aramatsurimiya of Kotai Jingu Shrine.
