History[]
According to legend, what was built in Inadera (currently Inadera, Amagasaki) during the time of Emperor Kotoku (645–654, during the Asuka period) was relocated to the present location in 904. In ancient times, the shrine was called "Nomiya", "Tennomiya", "Ushito Tennomiya", and other names.[2]
Due to the shinbutsu bunri policy (separation of Shinto and Buddhism) in 1869, Kannon-do, Jizo-do and Buddhist-related records were moved to , and the name of the shrine was changed from Nomiya to its present name, Inano Shrine.[3]
There are 98 stone lanterns donated by sake brewers and merchants on the shrine grounds. The oldest one was made in 1643, and the guardian dog pedestal was built in 1768.[4]
