#Saijo Inari Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
One of the top 3 Inari Shrines in Japan
#2024wish
Saijo Inari is located in lush green serenity that is about 30-minute drive away from the heart of Okayama City. As you approach the Temple, you will pass through O-torii (Grand Gate) that is erected over the road. Standing at 27.5 meters tall with pillars 4.6 meters in diameter, it is known as one of the biggest torii in Japan. Built in wish of world peace and road safety, this massive red gate is a remarkable local symbol that watches over residents and visitors.
I want to go to this place again in 2024.
Saijoinari Temple in Okayama
#2024wish
Saijo Inari is one of the three main shrines in Japan dedicated to Inari, the god of crops and rice. However, it is also a Buddhist temple, and the juxtaposition is extremely fascinating for those interested in how religion was adapted in Japan. The modern Indian-style gate includes both Shinto kitsune foxes and Buddhist guardian figures, and the grounds contain just as mixed an assortment of imagery. The large torii gate at the entrance road is visible from a great distance, but subtler details such as the old shrine from the 1700s tucked into the background are also very picturesque. The shop-lined approach was mostly shut the day we went, giving it a forlorn air, but would be wonderful to explore if the shops are open.
In 2024, I want to visit this place again.
