Review:
Inari shrines are an important aspect of Japanese culture. Fushimi Inari Taisha is the premier shrine of Japan, and the one with which the over 30,000 additional Inaris are connected. Constructed in 711 AD, people regularly gathered here and continue to do so to pray for the health and safety of their families, bountiful harvests, business prosperity, and other fulfillment-based wishes. Named an Important Cultural Property, it is one of the most iconic sites in the city of Kyoto. It features five connected shrines, the lower, middle, and upper shrines as well as two auxiliary shrines, Shino-Okami and Tanaka. They are considered the five pillars representing Inari virtues.
