Inari Shrine was built in 1730. From 1873 on, the shrine became a place of worship for Tenpishin (Tenpi Maso Daikongen). Oma is the only place in Northern Japan to worship Tenpi. Every year on Marine Day in July, a procession is held in the city to celebrate the anniversary of Tenpi’s veneration in Oma.
