What To Expect

Toyokawa Inari Temple

Toyokawa Inari Shrine is one of Japan’s “Big Three” Inari shrines—alongside Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto and Yutoku Inari Shrine in Saga. This stunning complex is home to over 1000 Inari fox statues, each dressed in bright red bibs, guarding the grounds. Your guide will provide you with a tour of the shrine and the adjoined Buddhist temple, explaining its fascinating history, while still leaving you plenty of time to go off and explore on your own so you can capture the beauty of this sacred site through your camera lens.

1 hour • Admission Included

Toyokawa Inari Omotesando

After your visit to the shrine, enjoy a leisurely lunch and free time at Toyokawa’s Omotesando shopping street. This charming, retro-style street is famous for Inari Sushi—a type of sushi made with vinegared rice stuffed inside deep-fried tofu pockets. It’s the perfect chance to try this sweet and savory dish, which some say originated here. Wander through the shops, soak in the nostalgic atmosphere, and perhaps pick up a fox mask souvenir.
