At the shrine of "losers"

Climbing the long stone steps lined with red torii gates like a tunnel to the top of the hill, you will come across from Ojiyama Inari Shrine and find "Makekiri Inari" enshrined on the sumo ring. As its name suggests, "Makekiri Inari" means "hate to make," so the shrine is widely worshipped as a god of good fortune, protection from disaster, prosperity in business, victory, and success in exams. There are stone steps, but they are low and there are wooden walking sticks available for your convenience. It is located on a hill overlooking Sasayama. The shrine office is unmanned, but you can buy amulets there. The shrine is also famous for its cherry blossoms and autumn leaves. It is about a 10-minute drive from Sasayama city. #0yentripNovember
