*''Founded: [[1190]]''
*''Japanese'': 佐助稲荷神社 ''(Sasuke Inari jinja)''
Sasuke Inari is a [[Shinto shrine]] in [[Kamakura]] dedicated to [[Inari]], ''[[kami]]'' of rice.
It is said that when [[Minamoto no Yoritomo]] was in [[Izu province|Izu]], the god of rice appeared to him in a dream, telling him "the time to destroy the [[Taira clan|Heike]] is now!", and that he couldn't lose. Yoritomo began raising an army on [[1180]]/8/17, and five years later had decisively defeated the Heike. As a means of showing his gratitude, in [[1190]], Yoritomo ordered [[Hatakeyama Shigetada]] to establish a shrine on this site.
The shrine is known for its long lanes of numerous vermillion ''[[torii]]''.
