Kyoto Fushimi Inari Taisha | The Red Miracle of the Thousand Torii Gates

📍Kyoto Fushimi Inari Shrine｜The Red Miracle of Thousand Torii Gates

When you come to Kyoto, you can't miss the thousand-year-old Fushimi Inari Shrine. As the headquarters of about 30,000 Inari shrines across Japan, it is not only the center of faith, but also a feast for the eyes and soul.

⛩️Thousand Torii Gates, the Red Maze of Praying Road

The most shocking thing is the endless "Thousand Torii Gates". Walking through the vermilion Torii tunnels, it seems like walking into a time and space channel. Behind each Torii gate, it represents a wish and gratitude, which is a symbol of donations from believers to pray for a prosperous business or peace.

🦊Fox Guardian God
In the shrine, fox statues symbolizing the messengers of God can be seen everywhere, some holding rice ears and some holding keys. Legend has it that they are messengers who convey wishes to the Inari God, and are also closely related to the harvest of grains and commercial prosperity.

🎐The beauty of architecture and details
From the large torii to the main hall, the overall architecture is full of traditional Japanese aesthetics. The solemnity of vermilion and gold, coupled with delicate carvings and paintings, can make you feel the craftsmanship and faith even if you don't understand history.

🌿Tips
• 📷Photography suggestions: There are fewer people in the morning or evening, and the light is soft, making it easier to take pictures of the "sky torii".
• 🥾Route selection: You can choose to take a short walk to the "Okusha Worship Hall", or challenge the entire climb, which takes about 2 hours, and overlook the Kyoto city.
• 🛍️Souvenirs: Fox masks, torii pendants, etc. are rich in Japanese characteristics and are a good choice worth bringing back.
