Since early Japan, Inari was seen as the patron of business, and merchants and manufacturers have traditionally worshipped Inari. Each of the torii at Fushimi Inari Taisha is donated by a Japanese business. First and foremost, though, Inari is the god of rice. It's approximately 2 hours to walk up and includes trails up the mountain to many smaller shrines which span 4 kilometers. Enjoy your tour and if you are lucky... meet a Geisha on a way :-)
