The head shrine of all Inari shrines in Japan, Fushimi Inari Taisha is a world-famous sacred site in Kyoto, best known for its endless "Senbon Torii" (Thousands of Torii Gates). The path lined with vermilion gates feels like a mystical tunnel leading to another world, making it immensely popular on social media. Fox statues, believed to be messengers of the god, are everywhere, and finding their varied expressions is part of the fun. Hiking to the summit of Mt. Inari offers a panoramic view of Kyoto and a deep sense of spirituality. Open 24 hours, its early morning and night atmosphere is especially magical, making it a definitive icon of Japanese culture.
