About Keitoku Inari Shrine

About Keitoku Inari Shrine

This shrine was founded in the 5th year of Kanji (1091).
The Shogun of the Midai Naval District at that time, Minamoto no Yoshiie, visited this area to subjugate Kiyohara Takehira and Kiyohara Iehira, and invited the Inari Shrine enshrined at Kyoto's Fushimi Inariyama to this area and donated the shrine land.
The head priest of this shrine was Suzuki Kurodo Motoyuki, the ancestor of the current chief priest.
Suzuki was a mountain ascetic of the Kumano Sanzan mountains and is said to have played a very important role in the founding of this shrine.
