West Area 5

The area's name, Inari, is found in the 1491 diary of Court Noble Tamehiro Reizei as Inari Shrine. It has also been noted that abandoned land in this area was cultivated and developed into Inari Village along with farmland reform by the Kaga Domian that started in 1651.
In this area, people have cooked rice with azuki beans as an offering to the gods and for relatives and neighbors for special occasions. Kaga Region in Ishikawa Prefecture also has a custom of cooking steamed rice with azuki beans, which may have come from the old custom handed down in this area.
