3. Fushimi Inari Taisha is one of the most photogenic attractions in Kyoto known for the thousands of vermilion torii gates lining up behind the main shrine. Fushimi Inari Taisha is the head shrine of the kami Inari, the kami of rice and agriculture, but merchants and manufacturers also worship Inari as the patron of business. The torii gates were donated by Japanese businesses in the Edo period (1603-1868) to have a wish come true or in gratitude for a wish that came true.

About Kyoto

Kyoto, meer dan duizend jaar de keizerlijke hoofdstad van Japan, is een stad van tempels, tuinen, houten stadshuizen en verfijnde tradities.

De stad herbergt veel van de meest gekoesterde plekken van Japan. Duizenden vermiljoenrode torii-poorten van Fushimi Inari Taisha klimmen een beboste berg op, het Gouden Paviljoen van Kinkaku-ji schittert boven zijn vijver, en het houten podium van Kiyomizu-dera steekt uit de heuvel boven de stad. De rotstuin van Ryoan-ji en het met mos begroeide terrein van Ginkaku-ji nodigen uit tot stille overpeinzing.

Top-ranked sights in Kyoto: Fushimi Inari Shrine (Fushimi Inari Taisha), Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
