Vue d'ensemble
Fushimi Inari Taisha is the head shrine of roughly 30,000 Inari shrines across Japan -- the largest shrine network in the country. The shrine's defining feature is the seemingly endless procession of vermilion torii gates that wind through the forested slopes of Mount Inari. There are estimated to be over 10,000 torii gates in total, donated by individuals and businesses seeking prosperity. The shrine was founded in 711 by the Hata clan, who were influential immigrants from the Korean peninsula. Inari worship centers on agricultural abundance (the name 'Inari' derives from 'ine-nari,' meaning 'rice growing'), but over the centuries it expanded to encompass business prosperity, making Inari the most widely worshipped deity in Japan. The fox (kitsune) is the divine messenger of Inari, and fox statues are found throughout the shrine grounds. The full mountain pilgrimage circuit takes approximately 2-3 hours and passes through atmospheric sub-shrines and scenic viewpoints over Kyoto. Fushimi Inari has ranked as the most visited shrine in Japan by foreign tourists for multiple consecutive years.
