稻佐神社

稻佐神社, Shinto shrine in Shiroishi, Saga Prefecture, Japan

Inasa Shrine in Shiroishi, Saga Prefecture, has a main hall rebuilt in 1721 and a stone Hizen-style torii dated 1585, the oldest of its kind in the prefecture. The torii's pillars taper toward the base, and its three-part pillars rise about 3.8 m. Two camphor trees over 600 years old stand on the grounds, one 26.5 m tall, the tallest camphor in Saga.

The shrine is identified with the ancient 'Inasa Okami' listed in the national chronicles. In 861 it was granted the junior fifth rank and in 885 promoted to junior fifth upper, as recorded in the Sandai Jitsuroku. Kukai founded Inasa Taiheiji temple here in the Heian period, and the shrine served as its guardian deity. The current main hall was rebuilt in 1721.

The shrine is woven into the community's seasonal life, most visibly through the October Yabusame festival where archers on horseback shoot at targets. Locals pass down these traditions and rituals, making the place a living part of how the town marks the passage of time.

The shrine stands in Shiroishi, Kishima District, and the grounds hold several subsidiary shrines: Mitake, Hachiman, Tenman, Inari and Churei. The two camphor trees are at the bell tower's east side and east of the shrine office; the taller one, 26.5 m, is the highest camphor in Saga Prefecture. The stone Hizen torii, 3.8 m tall with three-piece pillars, bears a 1585 inscription.

A renowned monk named Kukai is said to have visited the shrine and helped establish a nearby temple, a connection still visible today in local structures and customs. This spiritual link reaches back to a deeper layer of Japanese religious history.
