03 · About
A small Inari shrine
This is a small Inari shrine — a type of Shinto shrine dedicated to Inari Ōkami (稲荷大神), the kami of foxes, rice, fertility, and industry.
Urban Inari shrines are common throughout Tokyo. They are often tucked onto company grounds, hidden in alleyways, or set quietly beside waterways — small acts of devotion preserved within the everyday city.

とても静かで、川沿いを歩いていて偶然見つけました。小さいけれど大切にされている雰囲気。

Hard to access — the gate was locked when I arrived on a Sunday afternoon. Worth a second try on a weekday.

A perfect little pause between bridges. The vermilion against the gray river is unforgettable.

工場の自転車で前がふさがれていて、お参りしづらかった。

Quiet and unassuming. No signage, no information. Just a small torii and a feeling.

Closed. Couldn't even see inside the compound. Disappointed.
