History
Fushimi Inari Taisha is the head shrine of approximately 30,000 Inari shrines throughout Japan, boasting a history of over 1,300 years. It enshrines Inari Okami and is revered nationwide as the deity of commercial prosperity and abundant harvests. Most notably famous for the breathtaking sight of thousands of vermillion torii gates covering the entire mountain. The succession of crimson torii along the approach is truly mystical and awe-inspiring. Since the Edo period, it has been venerated by common people, and today attracts many international visitors, making it known worldwide as a representative shrine of Kyoto. A pilgrimage around the mountain will surely purify one's heart.

Tips
最寄り駅はJR奈良線伏見稲荷駅。駅直結で徒歩約5分。駅を出てすぐ大鳥居が見えます。
参拝者用駐車場複数あり（有料）。駅周辺の駐車場も利用可。混雑時は駐車待ちが発生しやすい。
御朱印あり。複数種類。社務所窓口で授与。参拝者が多い時間帯は混み合うため、早朝がお勧め。
参拝者が非常に多い。特に朝6時～9時、11時～15時は混雑。外国人観光客も多い。空いているのは早朝5時以前。
夜間参拝も可能。千社稲荷は暗いため懐中電灯があると良い。階段が多いので体力に応じてルート選択を。
