Fushimi Inari Taisha is a Shinto Shrine in southern Kyoto dedicated to Inari, the god of rice and business prosperity.
The shrine is known for its Multiple Torii that form tunnels along trails leading up Mount Inari. These gates, donated by individuals and businesses, have donors' names inscribed on the back. Roughly 10,000 torii have been donated, and around 800 of these make up the famous Senbon Torii tunnel.
Stone Fox Statues, representing Inari's messengers, are found throughout the grounds.
