This is VR 360 5K Japan Explorer. We explore many places in Japan.
We introduce Fushimi Inari Taisha.
Fushimi Inari Taisha, popularly known as “Inari-san”, is the head shrine of a group of about 30,000 Inari shrines in Japan. The history of the shrine is older than the Heian-kyo Capital, and was built in 711. It is believed to bring good fortune for prosperity in business and the safety of the family, and the shrine is crowded with visitors throughout the year.
It’s also popular with international travelers, and in June 2018, it was ranked number one for the fifth year in a row in the “Popular Japanese Tourist Spots for Foreigners” ranking by the world’s largest travel review site!
The biggest attraction of the popular Fushimi Inari Shrine is the “Senbon-torii”. The sight of the vermillion-lacquered torii lined up in a row is a sight to behold! Considering the 1,300-year history of the shrine, it seems to be a very new custom to dedicate the torii gate to people in thanks for their wishes.
It’s amazing that there are now about 10,000 torii gates lined up in the entire precincts of the shrine. As you can see from the side. You can clearly see that they are lined up seamlessly.
As you walk around the grounds of the temple, you will see foxes, the messengers of Inari no Kami, everywhere. At the front of the gate are not the A-Un guardian dogs, but the “guardian foxes” sitting at the top of the tower, with the one on the right holding a ball and the one on the left holding a key. The one on the right holds a ball and the other a key.
At the Okusha Hohaijo (shrine worship place), located beyond the first tunnel of the torii gate, you can try your hand at “Omakarui Ishi” (stone to make a wish). Thinking of your wish, you lift the stone lantern on top of the stone, and if it is lighter than you expect, your wish will come true. I lifted the stone, but… Oh, it is heavy. How does it feel to you?
Many people turn around at the Okusha Shrine Worship Center and Mitsutsuji Avenue, but in fact, the grounds of the shrine are so large that the entire Mount Inari, where Inari no Okami is enshrined, is an object of worship. It is about 233 meters above sea level and takes about 4 kilometers around the mountain, which takes about two hours. There are many beneficial shrines and other places of interest here and there, and you’ll get to know Fushimi Inari-taisha by experiencing a “mountain tour”. Even Sei Shonagon, who wrote the famous “Pillow Book”, is said to have paid a visit to Inariyama. If you have the time and energy to spare, why not take a walk?
We will introduce tourist attractions in Japan on VR360.
