About

Thousands of vermillion torii gates line forested trails climbing up Mount Inari.

This Shinto shrine founded in 711 is explored like a hike. Thousands of orange torii gates form tunnels along mountain paths winding uphill. The higher you climb, the fewer tourists you'll encounter and the more peaceful the atmosphere becomes.
