What to expect

Fushimi Inari Taisha is one of Kyoto’s most iconic and sacred Shinto shrines, serving as the head shrine of over 30,000 Inari shrines across Japan. Founded in the 8th century, it is dedicated to Inari, the deity of agriculture, prosperity, and business success. The shrine is best known for its breathtaking thousands of vermilion torii gates, which stretch like a tunnel up the slopes of the mountain behind the shrine. Each gate has been donated by worshippers as an offering, creating a surreal and spiritual atmosphere. Fox statues, believed to be messengers of the gods, are found throughout the grounds. While the shrine is a popular and vibrant destination during the day, it transforms at night into a place of deep tranquility and mystery, offering a hauntingly beautiful experience unlike any other in Kyoto.
