Do you like money?
This may sound like a rather daft question but anyone interested in acquiring extra wealth and more good fortune should head on down to Tokyo’s Anamori-Inari Shrine.
Tucked away discretely within a quiet residential neighborhood, barely 2 Kilometers away from Haneda Airport, this shrine is famous for blessing visitors with money and wealth plus a load of other good things.
Although originally built on the site of what is now Haneda Airport, Anamori-Inari-Jinja was moved to its present location in 1945 and retains the distinction of being the only shrine dedicated to protecting Haneda Airport
Immediately upon entering Shrine, you will notice many red ‘tori’, (gates) and stone monuments depicting various representations ‘inari’ (white foxes). Towards the center of this complex is the inner shrine or “Oku no Miya”, which contains special sand believed to bless visitors with good fortune. Interestingly, this shrine is also home to many little “Oyashiro” or miniature places of worship where you can pray for success in exams or tournaments.
Hence, in referring back to my original question; if you like money or want good fortune, then this is definitely the place to come!
