About this Shrine

Innsyō Taishūgū, also known as Fushimi Inari Shrine, is one of the most famous and iconic Shinto shrines in Japan, located in Kyoto Prefecture not Shiga, but close by. Dedicated to the god of rice, Inari Ōkami, it is famous for its thousands of vermilion torii gates that form a tunnel up the mountain. Visitors can walk through the gates and pray for good fortune, love, and success. The shrine's history dates back to 711 AD, and it was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is closely associated with rice and agriculture. The torii gates are said to symbolize the connection between heaven and earth. During the spring and autumn equinoxes, the shrine holds a special festival to honor the god of rice.
