Fushimi Inari-taisha

A torii trail at Fushimi Inari Taisha in Fushimi-ku Kyoto. Kyoto is the Ancient capital of Japan. Torii are a traditional Japanese gate most commonly found at the entrance of or within a Shinto shrine, where it symbolically marks the transition from the profane to the sacred. Inari shrines typically have many torii because those who have been successful in business often donate in gratitude a torii to Inari, kami of fertility and industry. Fushimi Inari-taisha in Kyoto has thousands of such torii, each bearing the donor's name
