Introduction
Kasama Inari Jinja in Ibaraki's Kasama city is one of Japan's three great Inari shrines, with Fushimi and Yutoku — enshrining Uka-no-Mitama for harvests, business, household safety and craft mastery. Vermilion gates and halls climb the hillside, flanked by tea houses and souvenir shops, bustling at the autumn grand festival. Kasama is old renowned for pottery and chrysanthemums; the shrine area is a hub of Kasama-yaki ceramics, where you can try pottery and view blooms.
