須賀神社 is a Shinto shrine located in the city of Matsue, Shimane Prefecture. The shrine is dedicated to Inari Okami, the kami enshrined deity of rice, industry, and fertility. The shrine's main hall was built in 1897, replacing an older structure that dated back to the Heian period (794-1185 CE). The shrine complex features a beautiful garden with a pond and walking paths, which are said to be particularly scenic during cherry blossom season.
