Fushimi Inari Taisha, which has been around for over 1300 years, is the most prestigious of all Inari shrines in Japan.
It is particularly famous for its stunning ''Senbon Torii'' gates, which are said to offer blessings for company prosperity, good harvests, family safety, healing from all illnesses, and traffic safety.
The shrine is claimed to have been founded on the first day of the first horse in February of the 4th calendar year of Wado (711), and it is the major shrine of the Inari shrines that are located around the country.

''Senbon Torii'' is one of the highlights of Fushimi Inari Taisha.
A lot of tourists from other countries came to Japan, especially for this purpose.
The ''vermilion tunnel'' made by the several torii gates creates an exciting scene
that makes you believe you have traveled to another world.

In the precincts, a ''fox'' messenger of Inari Okami is enshrined as a follower,
carrying various things such as ''balls'', ''keys'', ''scrolls'', and ''rice grain'' in its mouth.
It is also recommended that you go about the shrine grounds and see what they are holding in their mouths.

You can not only visit the temples and see the wonderful architecture,
but also experience the fresh air and the residents' love.
The area's full green space also makes it ideal for relaxing and enjoying Kyoto's vibe.
