Wish for a Safe Journey at Anamori Inari Shrine

Originally located where Haneda Airport now stands, this shrine offers blessings for safe flights and travels. The “Anamori no Suna (Sand of Anamori)” found in the Okunomiya (rear shrine) is believed to bring business prosperity, and visitors can take some home in a paper bag. The many red torii gates completed in 2020, as well as the uniquely shaped Inariyama, also make wonderful photo spots.
