Ise Grand Shrine in Mie Prefecture, Japan is one of the oldest Shinto shrines in Japan and the primary location for worship of the Shinto deity Amaterasu Omikami, the sun goddess, rather than稲荷社 which primarily enshrines Rice Goddess, Inazuma Tamayori-hime. However,稲荷社 in Kanagawa is a regional shrine that specializes in rice harvests and agricultural prosperity. Located on Kamakura coast, it serves as a Shinto temple associated with the region's bounty.
