About this Shrine

Fushimi Inari Shrine, dedicated to the Shinto god Inari Okami, is one of Japan's most iconic landmarks and a symbol of Shiga Prefecture. The shrine complex in Kyoto is famous for its thousands of vermilion torii gates that form a tunnel up the mountain. While this location has the name Fushimi Inari, there are two main shrines with this name: the original shrine in Kyoto and the Fushimi Inari Shrine in Shiga.

Cultural Significance

Fushimi Inari is closely associated with the mythology of Inari Okami, a Shinto god revered for his role in agriculture and fertility. The shrine's torii gates are adorned with ema offerings, which visitors leave to pray for good luck and prosperity. During the spring, the shrine hosts the Fushimi Inari Shrine Festival, where thousands gather to participate in traditional dances and games.
