Review:
This iconic Shinto shrine is set in a sprawling complex on Mt. Inari. Built to honor the god of rice, the complex consists of multiple worship halls. The property’s paths are lined by traditional vermilion torii that are symbols of the transition from the physical world to the spiritual world. Kids will be entertained by counting the number of fox statues found on the grounds. The foxes, or kitsune, were thought to be Inari’s messengers. Special events are held at Fushimi Inari-taisha throughout the year, from festivals to purification rituals. The complex is open daily and admission is free.
Fushimi Inari-taisha, 68 Fukakusa Yabunouchicho, Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, Japan, Phone: +81-756-41-73-31
