Yutoku Inari Shrine

祐徳稲荷神社

An Inari shrine with colourful halls raised above the lower precinct. Choose it for striking architecture and prosperity-related prayers. The Oku-no-in approach is currently closed, so do not plan the hill-top torii walk.

Before you go

The September 27, 2026 announcement closes the Oku-no-in approach following storm damage to trees, railings and torii. Myobusha remains open according to that notice. Check for a reopening announcement before attempting the hill path.
