This is Fushimi Inari Taisha, the main shrine of 30,000 "Oinari-san" in Fushimi, Kyoto. It has a history of 1300 years.
The precincts of Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine consider the entire Mt. About 10,000 vermillion torii gates line the approach to the shrine, and the spectacular scenery is known as the "Thousand Torii Gates."

Fushimi Inari Taisha is said to have been built in the Heian period. In the Kamakura period, Minamoto no Yoritomo's belief in the shrine led to the worship of the shrine nationwide. In the Edo period, Tokugawa Ieyasu also believed in it, and a torii gate was built on the approach to the shrine.

Fushimi Inari Taisha is bustling with many worshipers as the god of prosperous business and a bountiful harvest. It is also a popular tourist spot that attracts the most worshipers in the Kinki region for New Year's visits.
