The Fushimi Inari Taisha, located in Fushimi Ward of Kyoto Prefecture, is the main branch of the Inari Okuninushi shrine, which was originally established at Fushimi Castle in 711. The current main hall, Hon-den, was rebuilt in 1560 during the Momoyama period. The shrine is famous for its thousands of vermilion torii gates that form a tunnel up the mountain. Visitors can walk through the gates and pray for good luck, success, and prosperity.
