KYOTO
History and Traditional Culture
Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine
Known for its winding mountain paths lined by countless brilliant red torii gates, Fushimi Inari-taisha-ranked many years straight as Japan's #1 tourist spot on TripAdvisor—is a destination of truly otherworldly beauty. Statues of the white fox said to be the messenger of Inari Okami, prayer mounds and miniature shrines along the way give the grounds an eerie and divine ambiance that can be particularly savored in late afternoon and early evening.
