3Fushimi Inari Taisha
Fushimi Inari Taisha, affectionately known as "Oinari-san," is the head shrine of the approximately 30,000 Inari shrines across Japan. Its history predates the relocation of the capital to Heian, and is said to have been founded in 711. It is said to bring blessings for business prosperity and safety for the home, and is crowded with worshippers throughout the year. The greatest attraction of this hugely popular Fushimi Inari Taisha is the "Thousand Torii Gates." The sight of the rows of vermilion-lacquered torii gates is simply breathtaking! This is said to be due to the widespread practice of offering torii gates as a token of gratitude for wishes that "may" be granted or that "have been granted." Considering its 1,300-year history, this seems quite recent.
