Entrance through two two-story toriis to approach Kondon Gate of Fushimi Inari-taisha.
The shrine was built to honor Inari, the Shinto god of rice.
Foxes are believed to be Inari's messengers, so there are a number of fox statues seen on the grounds and along the path. Some of the foxes have golden keys in their mouths symbolically holding the keys to the rice storage.
The Haiden, hall of worship
Smaller shrines located in the entrance plaza...
...and along the torii path.
The entrance to the thousands of toriis path...
