Fushimi Inari is quite an amazing place, you can walk for 20 minutes and still have more torii to walk through and there are quite a few statutes of foxes which are commonly found at Inari, the Shinto deity of rice, shrines in Japan. Almost all of the torii are sponsored by corporations, companies, groups and individuals. To reach Fushimi Inari, take the JR Nara Line to JR Inari Station, which takes about five minutes from Kyoto Station and the shrine is just in front of the station.
