Toyokawa Inari, formally known as Myogonji Temple, is a unique Buddhist temple with Shinto elements, dating back to the Muromachi period. Unlike typical Inari shrines dedicated to foxes, Toyokawa Inari venerates Dakini-ten, often depicted riding a white fox and carrying rice. Located in Toyokawa, Aichi Prefecture, it's a short walk from Toyokawa Station. The temple is renowned as a place for business prosperity and family safety, featuring impressive gates, halls, and the remarkable Reikozuka, an area filled with countless fox statues. Visitors can explore the serene grounds and experience a blend of Buddhist and Shinto traditions. Admission is free, making it an accessible cultural site for all.
