Fushimi Inari-taisha in Kyoto

Fushimi Inari-taisha, also known as the Fushimi Inari Shrine, is a popular tourist site located in Kyoto, Japan. It is the head shrine of the kami Inari, who is considered to be the god of rice, prosperity, and foxes. One of the most distinguishing features of this shrine is the thousands of vermilion torii gates that create a tunnel-like path through the forest behind the main buildings. These torii gates were donated by individuals and companies over many centuries, with the oldest dating back to the 8th century.

The shrine's history dates back to 711 AD, though it has undergone several renovations and expansions since then. It was initially built to honor Inari, who was believed to be the patron of business and agriculture. Today, the shrine continues to attract visitors who come to make offerings, pray for success in business or other ventures, or simply to enjoy the stunning scenery. Additionally, the shrine has been featured in several popular Japanese films, and its picturesque setting makes it a great location for photographers and nature lovers.
