Sekimori Inari-jinja, Shinto shrine in Japan

Sekimori Inari-jinja is a small Shinto shrine in Suma-ku, Kobe, dedicated to Inari, the deity of rice. It stands on the spot where the Suma Barrier (Suma no seki) is said to have been, a site mentioned in a waka by Minamoto no Kanemasa included in the Hyakunin Isshu. The shrine is named for that barrier, and the surrounding area also holds Murakami-tenno-sha, Genko-ji (Genji-dera) and Suma-dera.

The shrine was founded on the site held to be the Suma Barrier (Suma no seki), a checkpoint evoked in a poem by Minamoto no Kanemasa included in the Hyakunin Isshu anthology; the shrine's name, meaning barrier keeper, comes from that association. The enshrined deity is Inakuratama no kami, a kami of grain.

The shrine is dedicated to Inari, the god of rice and fertility, which explains the red torii gates and fox statues found throughout the grounds. These foxes are believed to be messengers of the deity and remain a visible part of the spiritual life visitors experience during their visit.

The shrine stands in a residential part of Suma-ku, about 10 minutes on foot northeast of JR Suma Station and about 5 minutes northeast of Sanyo-Suma Station on the Sanyo Electric Railway. Nearby are Sumadera, Gensho-ji (Genji-dera) and the Murakami Teisha. No goshuin seal is issued here, as of February 2024.

The shrine's name comes from a waka by Minamoto no Kanemasa in the Hyakunin Isshu, which mentions the Suma barrier; the shrine was built on the spot held to be that barrier's site. No goshuin seal is issued here, as of February 2024.
