Fushimi Inari Taisha　伏見稲荷大社

Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto is the headquarters of Inari Shrines scattered all over the country, and the Inari god who controls the fertility of five grains is enshrined there. It is also deeply worshiped as a god of business prosperity and family safety.  The mysterious and spectacular red Senbon Torii, or one thousand gates, attracts attention and has become a popular spot for both domestic and overseas tourists. The fox-shaped votive tablet and the roasted sparrow, a specialty of the gate, are also popular. There is no closing time and you can worship all day long, so it is quite busy, therefore if you want to take a picture of the unoccupied Senbon Torii, I recommend early morning.

京都にある伏見稲荷大社は全国に点在する稲荷神社の総本社で、五穀豊穣を司る稲荷神が祀られています。商売繁盛、家内安全の神としても厚く信仰されているだけでなく、神秘的で壮観な赤い千本鳥居が注目され国内はもとより海外の観光客にも人気のスポットになっています。狐の形をした絵馬や、門前名物のすずめの丸焼きも人気です。閉門時間はなく終日参拝できますので、人のいない千本鳥居を撮影したい場合は早朝をお勧めします。
