Fushimi Inari Shrine, located in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, is one of the most famous Shinto shrines in Japan, but this shrine is actually the Temmoku-jinja, a lesser-known shrine dedicated to the kami of the town, named Ume no Kami. It has been rebuilt twice due to fires and is known for its unique architectural style. The shrine's main hall was originally built in 1718 during the Edo period, but it was destroyed by fire in 1887 and rebuilt in 1901.
