Fushimi Inari-taisha is an iconic Shinto shrine located in the city of Kyoto. This sprawling complex houses one of the largest temple gates in Japan, which stands at a dizzying 10,000! Open 24 hours with both the approach to the shrine and the Honden illuminated all night, this popular attraction draws several million worshipers over the Japanese New Year. Foxes, representing the messengers of the kami, are often spotted around the premises and holding symbolic items such as keys and jewels. For those wishing to explore further, there are plenty of trails and smaller shrines to discover, making Fushimi Inari-taisha an exciting adventure for all who visit.
