Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine
Fushimi
Inari Taisha is one of the oldest Shinto Shrine in Kyoto. Locally called “Oinari-san”,
it is the main shrine of all the Inari shrines in Japan. People originally went
there to prey for fertility, grain harvest, sake and tea, but now it’s more
about business and general prosperity.
If you decide to go visit
the shrine, we advise that you wear sneakers. Indeed, as the shrine is located
on the sacred Mount Inari, it would take some time and efforts to reach the
edge (Around 30 minutes). But all along the path, you will be able to
enjoy the beautiful forest scenery and the red sacred gates (Torii).
