Inari Shrine in Kyoto, Japan
Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine in Kyoto, Japan. This is the main Inari Shrine in Japan. Inari Shrines are Shinto Shrines dedicated to the Fox God of Rice & Commerce Inari. The Worship of Inari is therefore associated with Business Japan. The thousands of Red Tori Gates in this Mountainside Shrine are placed there by various businesses throughout Japan. You can see each business's information on the Tori Gate they have placed there. Each Red Tori Gate signifies sacred ground, so Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine is technically thousands of individual shrines. In any case it is a very exciting, adventurous, beautiful and popular tourist site in Kyoto. A great place to visit! These clips are from my visit there in March 2016.
