愛宕稲荷神社
2781 Atagocho, Iida City
Around 1185, the lord of Iizaka Castle, Sakazaki Yoshimasa, enshrined Fushimi Inari, which came to be known as Yoshimasa Inari.
Later, during the Bunroku period (around 1592), Kyogoku Takakazu, the lord of Iida Castle, relocated it to its current location when he reorganized the castle town's roads.
Originally, it was within the grounds of Atagozan Jizo Temple, and from that time it has been called Atago Inari Shrine.
In 1911, the Atago Shrine, which was enshrined on the grounds, was consolidated here.
At the entrance to the shrine grounds, marked by two torii gates, sit the foxes of the Inari Shrine.
The worship hall is a gabled structure with a hipped roof.
Behind it, housed in a covering structure, is the main sanctuary, a one-bay nagare-zukuri style building.
The construction was overseen by the third-generation master of the Tachikawa school, Tomishige, with Yoshikawa Taibei acting as the assistant carpenter.
Next to the shrine grounds stands a large cherry tree, estimated to be 750 years old, known as the Seishu Sakura.
