The name of the donor was inscribed in red on the fence

As I wandered around Tsukuda, I came upon a small shrine. It was a shrine called Osakinamiyoke Inari Jinja. Despite its grandiose name, it is a very small shrine. The name “波除於咲” is apparently read as “Nami-yoke-o-saki". The stone wall is a magnificent stone structure. The name of the donor is written in red ink. Although small, this shrine seems to be a place of faith for the local people.

When I visited, the small shrine grounds were empty and quiet. With such calmness, the enshrined deity Kurainatama must be spending his time leisurely.
