Fushimi Inari Taisha is one of Kyoto’s most iconic and visited Shinto shrines, famous worldwide for its thousands of vibrant red torii gates that form winding paths up Mount Inari. Established in the early 8th century, the shrine is dedicated to Inari, the deity of rice, prosperity, and business success. Visitors come to walk through the seemingly endless tunnels of torii gates, each donated by individuals or businesses as a symbol of gratitude or prayer. The hike to the summit offers beautiful views of Kyoto and a chance to explore smaller shrines along the way. Fushimi Inari is especially popular during New Year and the rice planting season, but its striking scenery and spiritual atmosphere make it a must-see attraction all year round.
