About Yutoku Inari Shrine ― how to enjoy a walk
One of Japan's three great Inari shrines, with a vermilion main hall dramatically built into the mountainside. Famous for business prosperity blessings.
Stone steps lead from the main hall to the inner shrine with sweeping views of the Saga Plain. Try local yokan sweets at the gate-front shops afterward.
Smoking rules and things to watch around Yutoku Inari Shrine

The entire shrine grounds are non-smoking. Smoking spots are only near the gate-town parking and rest areas. Never smoke on the stairs.
