Along with the Fushimi Inari Shrine and Kasama Inari Shrine, the Yutoku Inari Shrine is known as one of Japan''''s three major Inari and fondly referred to as "Yutoku san" by the locals. The main shrine stands tall with a backdrop of a stone wall mountain and there is a two-storied romon gate and Kagura Hall situated on the spacious shrine grounds at the skirt of the mountain. The outer garden of the Yutoku Inari Shrine is part of Higashiyama Park, a famous spot for viewing azalea flowers. The park is filled with nearly 50,000 stocks of blooming azalea flowers during the season.
