Located in the scenic Shikotsu-Toya National Park, Kurobe Inari Shrine is a Shinto temple dedicated to the worship of Inari Okami, the deity of rice, fertility, and prosperity. The shrine's architecture reflects traditional Hokkaido-style temples with a mix of wooden and tiled roofs. While I couldn't find information on the specific shrine '古泉神社' in Hokkaido, it is likely that this shrine is dedicated to a regional kami or deity related to water sources or purification.
