Fushimi Inari Shrine

Ten thousand vermillion torii gates march up the sacred Mount Inari, creating a mesmerizing corridor between the human world and the divine. This living shrine to the fox deity of prosperity has drawn merchants and dreamers since 711 AD. As you ascend through tunnels of blazing orange, the city noise fades and birdsong takes over — the mountain itself becomes the temple.
