Located in the heart of Edogawa, Tokyo, Shibasaki Inari Shrine is one of the oldest and most revered Shinto shrines dedicated to Inari Okami, the kami of rice, industry, and fertility. With a history dating back over 700 years, this shrine is famous for its thousands of vermilion torii gates that form a tunnel leading up the mountain. Visitors can take part in a unique ritual called 'torii no maki,' where they tie orange ribbons to the gates as an offering to Inari, symbolizing their wishes and prayers.
