Fushimi Inari Shrine (10,000 Torii Gates, Kyoto)
Most iconic Shinto shrine in Japan. Founded 711 CE, dedicated to Inari (rice/prosperity god). 10,000+ vermillion torii gates tunnel up hillside creating ethereal tunnel effect. Mystical forest trails (2+ hours hiking). 2M+ annual visitors—still 1M fewer than Todai-ji but free entry versus ¥600. Free entry. Best visited 6-7am (before tourists). Night hiking (with headlamp) popular.
