Ifurimya Jinja is a Shinto shrine located in Kyoto, dedicated to the kami of rice and fertility. The shrine's architecture is typical of Edo-period (1603-1867) design, featuring a wooden torii gate and a rectangular main hall. While Ifurimya Jinja does not have any specific mythology connections, it is likely connected to the Japanese concept of 'rice' as a symbol of abundance and prosperity.
