Anamori Inari Shrine, Shinto shrine in Haneda, Japan

Anamori Inari Shrine is a Shinto place of worship in Haneda near the airport, featuring several red torii gates and fox statues made of stone and ceramic. The compound includes smaller side shrines, a main building with a curved roof, and a paved courtyard surrounded by lanterns and offerings.

In the 1780s Suzuki Yagoemon reclaimed a tidal flat east of Haneda and built an embankment; a small Inari hokora stood on it. In the late Bunsei or early Tenpo era a storm and tsunami opened a large hole in the dike, and the shrine became known as Anamori Inari, 'the Inari who guards against holes made by waves.' In 1884 the shrine was destroyed by a typhoon; it was rebuilt and recognized for public worship in 1885, and the name Anamori was officially sanctioned in 1886.

Foxes appear everywhere as statues and motifs, as they are believed to serve as messengers of the harvest deity in traditional belief. Visitors place small coins at the altars and pull the bell rope before bowing at the shrine.

The main hall opens in the morning and closes in the late afternoon for prayers, while the outer grounds remain open throughout the day. The compound sits in a residential area a short walk from the terminal, making it easy to visit even during brief layovers.

Sand from the shrine grounds is distributed in small pouches to visitors who take it home as a protective charm. This practice links to the belief that the sand wards off misfortune and grants wishes when scattered on your own property.
