Fushimi Inari Taisha, the main shrine of Inari, including various torii footpaths through hundreds of sacred red gates, establishing quite a procession to the temple. Each torii has been donated by a worshiper of the god of business.

The first shrine was placed here in 816, and the main building was constructed in 1499. Bronze statues of foxes guard the sacred place, with keys in their mouths.
