At Nino mine, mirrors of the 4th century were excavated. They revealed the Mt. Inari used to be a “Kofun”, an ancient tomb.

We head for Sannno mine.

At Kuchi ire Inari, a sub shrine of Araki Inari,  we can see Kawaii foxes.

The fox standing with lantern in his hand is “Banto san”. He leads the married couple behind him.

If we have wish, we ask these figurines and bring back our homes.

We climb down the mountain again, we reach “Sanba Inari”. The word “Sanba” means ” A place we give birth to child”. The wish we asked to the Deities in Oyama meguri is born here and the tour is finished.
