"Inari" was originally worshipped as a deity of farming and grain; nowadays Inari is considered to be a god of all industrial activities and is located everywhere in Japan.

During the Edo period (1603-1867), a local Sendai lord started on a journey to Tokyo, which was then known as "Edo." He took his first break near "Tabidachi Inari" and prayed for a safe journey. "Tabidachi Inari" is named after this episode.

The small shrine between the street and the Hirose River is popular among local people who pray for safe travel and protection when driving.


There is a huge tree in the grounds of the shrine; it is estimated to be 200 years old and is protected by the city government.
