Toyonaka Inari Shrine, Shinto shrine in Osaka Prefecture, Japan

Toyonaka Inari-jinja is a small Shinto shrine surrounded by houses yet filled with trees and greenery in the center of Toyonaka. The simple wooden buildings with curved roofs stand alongside traditional stone lanterns, walking paths, and several auxiliary shrines, including a water purification basin and smaller sanctuaries dedicated to various local deities.

The shrine's founding date is uncertain; it began as a guardian shrine for a tract of land donated to Kōdera, a temple founded by Gyōki. It served as the tutelary shrine of Sansha-no-shō (Shinmen-no-shō) until 1504, when Ashikaga Yoshitane confiscated its lands and it fell into ruin. In 1578 Oda Nobunaga's campaign against Araki Murashige, carried out by Takayama Ukon, destroyed its treasures except the sacred seal. It was rebuilt in 1651 (Keian 4) and its worship hall, offering hall and office were rebuilt in 1970.

The shrine's formal name is simply Inari Jinja; Toyonaka Inari is a common name. Its autumn festival on 17 October sends drums along the road in front of the torii, alongside danjiri floats and portable shrines carried by children and women. Records also note that rain-prayer rites with flying drums were once held here in dry spells, but they stopped as the area became residential.

The shrine stands about 300 metres northeast of Toyonaka Station on the Hankyu Takarazuka Line, roughly four minutes on foot. It sits on a hill, so the approach involves low stone steps up to the hall. The grounds adjoin a neighbouring park, and the surrounding area is now fully residential.

The shrine stands on the site of Inariyama Kofun, a burial mound of the Shinmen Miyayama group, where a Sue ware coffin was excavated. Its grounds also hold Miyayama Kindergarten, run by the Toyonaka Inari Gakuen school corporation, and a monument marking a shared reservoir of the Toyonaka water union that was turned into a park.
