Fushimi Shrine

675
One of Kyoto's oldest and most revered Shinto shrines, the magical, seemingly unending path of over 5,000 vibrant orange torii gates wind through the hills behind Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine. Whether you're a Geisha, an Emperor, a rurouni, a samurai, or a tourist, you can pass the kitsune komainu ("guardian foxes"), explore the Senbon Torii ("a thousand torii gates"), and find yourself walking through the entrance to another world.
