[Kyoto] Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine

#Domestic travel record

"Fushimi Inari Taisha" famous for its thousand torii gates

It is the head shrine of the Inari shrines, which number about 30,000 nationwide.

It is said to bring good luck in business and safety for the home, and many worshippers visit.

The sight of the rows of vermilion-painted torii gates has also become a tourist spot.

It is said that the practice of donating torii gates became widespread after the Edo period, so that wishes would "come true" and as a token of gratitude for having "come true."

It is said that there are now about 10,000 of them lined up within the grounds.

When you walk through the grounds, you will be greeted by "foxes," messengers of Inari Okami.

They are dressed in various ways, such as holding "scrolls," "ears of rice," and "keys," so it is fun to worship while looking at them.
