Fushimi Inari Taisha (伏見稲荷大社) is the most popular tourist attraction in Kyoto. The ancient site enshrines Inari Okami, the Shinto god of rice, who is known as a deity of business prosperity, household and personal safety, and improvement in the performing arts.  Our advice is to get up early and visit on a weekday, if possible, to beat the crowds.  

The sheer number of torii gates here is mind boggling. Torii gates had become widely used by the start of the Edo period in the 1600s. Today, there are around 10,000 torii gates of all sizes along the mountain paths of Fushimi Inari.  Each gate has been paid for by a company or organization to give thanks for their prosperity and for good fortune in the future.

Vermilion red is considered an amulet against evil forces, and is used in many ancient palaces, shrines, and temples in Japan. At Fushimi Inari, the color expresses the bountiful harvests that Inari provides.  Foxes are said to be the messengers of Inari. These foxes cannot be seen with human eyes and for that reason are often referred to as “white foxes.”
