Kanazawa Riverside Prayer Spot: Asanogawa Inari Shrine

Located in the Higashi Chaya District of Kanazawa, a quiet and understated shrine—Asanogawa Inari Shrine—awaits visitors strolling along the river. This small Inari shrine stands serenely by the Asano River, welcoming passersby with its red torii gate and stone lanterns. It harmonizes beautifully with the geisha charm and historic townhouses of the tea district. Though modest in size, the shrine has long been a place of worship for local residents, especially admired by business owners and geishas who come to pray for prosperity and successful performances. Hidden within the everyday alleys, the shrine exudes a tranquil atmosphere as if time has forgotten it, transporting visitors back to Kanazawa during the Edo period. It is recommended to visit in the morning or at dusk to experience the gentle flow of the river and the whispers of the old town. A simple bow at the torii gate can bring a sense of inner peace and blessings to your journey 🍃 📍Location: Asanogawa Inari Shrine (Higashi Chaya District, Kanazawa) 🚶♀️Access: About a 3–5 minute walk from Kazue-machi or Higashi Chaya District
