Fushimi Inari-Taisha

Fushimi Inari in Kyoto is the primary Shinto shrine in Japan dedicated to the spirit of Inari. Inari is the protector of cereal grains (especially rice) and is associated with wealth. As a result, many families and businesses will donate barrels of rice wine or vermilion torri gates as offerings. As Fushimi is the principal Inari shrine in Japan, many have donated and paths leading to the shrine are lined with over 10,000 torri gates!

Inaria's official messengers are foxes, and so shrines are often adorned with fox sculptures. There is even a special sushi dedicated to Inari made of rice-filled sweetened tofu called Inari-zushi. Sounds nasty, but they are some tasty nums!
