Located in the scenic town of Odawara, Fushimi Daigo-ryō Inshō Shrine is one of Japan's most famous and revered shrines dedicated to Inari Okami, the Shinto deity of rice, industry, and fertility. The shrine's name reflects its association with the Oda-no-sukune, a legendary rōnin who was said to have helped the Emperor Ōjin, the second emperor of Japan, during his military campaigns. Fushimi Daigo-ryō Inshō Shrine is particularly famous for its vermilion torii gates and its thousands of vermilion torii gates along its approach, which symbolize the power of the shrine's kami.
