The origin of Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine lies in the Imperial order received by HATANOKIMI no Iroku on the day of Mizunoe-uma in March 4, 711, which commanded him to enshrine mihashirano kami (three gods) at Mitsugamine peak of Mt. Inari.
711年（和銅4年）2月壬午の日に、伊侶具秦公（はたのきみのいろく）が勅命を受けて伊奈利山三ヶ峯（稲荷山）に三柱の神を祀ったことに始まる。
