Ise Grand Shrine's sister shrine, Hare Kawa Inari Taisha, is located in Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture. Dedicated to the Shinto god of rice, prosperity, and fertility, Inari Okami, this shrine attracts millions of visitors each year with its thousands of vermilion torii gates that form a tunnel up the mountain. The shrine's association with the fox spirit Inari Okami has led to its unique tradition of fox statues being placed along the entrance gates.
