Ukiha Inari Shrine is located at the southern edge of the central business district of Ukiha-machi, Ukiha City, Fukuoka Prefecture. The enshrined deities are Ukanomitama, Ooyamagui, and Sugawara Michizane. It was established in 1957 with a deity enshrined from Fushimi Inari Taisha, and was officially recognized as a religious corporation the following year.
