Shodai Shrine, located in the heart of Nagasaki's Shikan Gai, is a historic Shinto shrine dedicated to the god of prosperity and good fortune. However, I couldn't find any information about a shrine called 昭徳稲荷神社 in Saga Prefecture. After further research, I found that there is a shrine called Shōtoku Inari Shrine located in Saga City's Shimoda-ku, which is dedicated to Inari Okami, the Shinto god of rice and prosperity.
