Yuwaku Inari Shrine, located at the heart of the onsen village, is faithfully depicted in Hanasaku Iroha as the local shrine where the bonbori festival takes place. The small but atmospheric shrine surrounded by forest became so associated with the anime that the real Yuwaku Bonbori Festival was created in its honor.
📺 Scene from the Anime
The shrine hosts the bonbori festival in the anime, where wishes written on wooden boards are offered. This scene inspired the real annual Yuwaku Bonbori Festival.
