Shrine
Kamakura, Kanagawa
Sasuke Inari Shrine is an almost hidden and slightly mysterious Inari shrine located on a forested hillside in Kamakura. A narrow path lined with red torii gates leads up to numerous small fox statues, mossy steps, and scattered mini-shrines. According to local legend, a group of fox spirits helped Minamoto no Yoritomo defeat his enemies, and he founded this shrine in gratitude.
The goshuin featured here is a limited version of this shrine’s goshuin.
