Fushimi Inari Shine is one of the most important Shinto shrines in southern Kyoto. It's also the most important shrine dedicated to Inari, the Shinto god of rice. Foxes are believed to be Inari's messengers, which is why you'll find plenty of fox statues around the shrine. The main draw for tourists however are the thousands of vermilion torii gates that straddle the various winding trails around the main buildings. It's an awesome place for photography enthusiasts, as long as you get there before the crowds...
