About this Shrine

The Fushimi Inari Taisha, located in Fushimi Ward of Kyoto Prefecture, is the main branch of the Inari Okuninushi shrine, which was originally established at Fushimi Castle in 711. The current main hall, Hon-den, was rebuilt in 1560 during the Momoyama period. The shrine 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 luck, success, and prosperity.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is famous for its connection to the Shinto god of rice, Inari Okuninushi. The shrine hosts an annual autumn festival called O-Tsukimi, which features traditional dances and performances.
