The 1000 Torii at Fushimi Inari Shrine, Kyoto, Japan JP

---

Inari is the Shinto god of rice, and foxes are supposed to be his messengers. For that reason, the Fuhimi Inari shrine is dotted with many fox statues. The many tori gates make for an unforgettable experience, but if you can manage it, visiting the shrine in the evening is a must – the dim lights and sounds of the wildlife make for a delightfully atmospheric walk through the shrine’s tori gates.
