Yutoku Inari Shrine (祐徳稲荷神社, Yutoku Inari Jinja) is one of Japan’s three most important Inari shrines, alongside Kyoto’s Fushimi Inari and Aichi’s Toyokawa Inari. Welcoming over three million visitors each year, it's a spiritual and cultural icon where many come to pray for good fortune, successful business, safe travels, and even a big fishing catch.
The shrine complex is breathtaking, featuring a grand entrance gate, a charming bridge, peaceful gardens, koi-filled ponds, and elegant buildings. Don’t miss the rows of vivid red torii gates leading up the hill, offering photo-perfect views. There’s also a museum on-site that adds depth to the experience. Whether you're drawn by beauty, tradition, or blessings, Yutoku Inari Shrine is a must-visit in Saga.
