A series of vibrant orange torii gates form a long pathway through a lush, green forest. The traditional Japanese gates, made of wood and curved at the top, stretch as far as the eye can see, leading up a gently ascending slope. The path beneath the gates is paved with stone, allowing visitors to walk beneath the iconic structures. Sunlight filters through the trees, casting a warm glow on the vermilion hues of the torii gates. This serene and enchanting scene captures the essence of the Fushimi Inari-taisha Shinto shrine in Kyoto, Japan, renowned for its thousands of interconnected torii gates.

Entering the endless orange #torii gates of the Shinto shrine of Fushimi Inari-taisha. •• I can’t explain how magical it feels to walk up the mountain through these beautiful gates. It’s one of those things that has to be experienced. . . . . .
