参拝のヒント

Look for the fox guardian statues and consider bringing rice or sake as traditional offerings to Inari.

文化的背景

Inari is served by fox messengers called kitsune, which is why Inari shrines typically feature fox statues rather than the usual komainu lion-dogs. Worshippers often leave offerings of rice, sake, and abura-age (fried tofu) which foxes are believed to favor.
