[2025 Kamakura Attraction] Travel Guide for Sasuke Inari Shrine (Updated May)

📍Location Sasuke Inari Shrine Address: 2-22-12 Sasuke, Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture Features: The red torii tunnel and the fox messenger are a secret shrine where you can pray for your career and the fulfillment of your wishes. ⸻ 🚶♂️Transportation (walk from Zeniarai Benzaiten Shrine) ・About 5 to 7 minutes on foot ・The route is mostly alleys and mountain roads, so it is recommended to open Google Maps navigation and follow it for peace of mind ・You will pass through some quiet residential areas and forest trails along the way, which are quiet and a bit mysterious ⸻ 📝Personal experience Sasuke Inari Shrine really gave me a feeling of "accidental discovery". It is not far from the city of Kamakura, but once you walk in, it feels like entering another world. The numerous red torii gates extend up the mountain along the stone steps, and the process of climbing up layer by layer feels very ceremonial. Although the shrine is not large, the overall atmosphere is very peaceful. The sound of the wind blowing through the woods mixed with the occasional chirping of birds naturally slowed down the pace. I particularly like this place because it is neither noisy nor crowded, and I can talk to the gods quietly and relax. There are many fox statues in the shrine, some of which are wearing red scarves, adding a cute and mysterious atmosphere. I sat here for a long time, not thinking about anything, just watching the light and shadow swaying between the torii gates, and felt that this trip to Kamakura was really a good decision. #AprilDestinations2025 #JapanTravel
