"Fushimi Inari Taishaon Inariyama mountain is dedicated to the Shinto gods of rice and sake, but Inari is also the god of merchants and that bringsa lot of businesspeopleto worship here. Everyone else stops by to see the thousands of vermilion torii, or gates (each of which is funded by a Japanese company). They lead to the main shrine, which was built in 1499. Walking underneaththe gatesis like passingthrough a fiery tangerinetunnel, and visitors leave behind tiny torii replicas as part of their prayer."
