Fun hiking this past weekend with friends to this interesting shrine founded in 1190 by Yoritomo no Minamoto, the founder of the Kamakura Shogunate in expression of gratitude to the god Inari's help in defeating, Minamoto's rival clan. Inari, it is often believed comes in the shape of a dog/fox.
A statue in honor of Yoritomo is not located far from the shrine in Genyiyama Park.
