Before walking into the inner shrine, there are several red gates that you must pass before entering the shrine. The shrine gates have the names of donors who have donated a gate to the Fushimi Inari Taisha. The Fushimi Inari Taisha is a shrine dedicated to Inari (<strong>\u7a32\u8377<\/strong>), which is the Japanese kami (\u795e) or spirit of wealth, success, fertility, agriculture, and foxes.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fushimi Inari-taisha \u4f0f\u898b\u7a32\u8377\u5927\u793e\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_lRTQC_xKOg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Izumo Taisha (<strong>\u51fa\u96f2\u5927\u793e<\/strong>) is dedicated to the kami called \u014ckuninushi (<strong>\u5927\u56fd\u4e3b<\/strong>). \u014ckuninushi is the guardian god for marital happiness and harmonious relationships. Unlike many typical Shint\u014d Shrines that are built symmetrical in design, \u014ckuninushi is built asymmetrically. This asymmetry implies that there is more of an informal relationship between the guardian god and the worshippers. In addition, \u014ckuninushi contains a sacred straw rope called a shimenawa (\u6a19\u7e04). It is the largest sacred rope in Japan.<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=g1Lhk0UsUVk<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s quite a few Shint\u014d Shrines that you can visit in Japan, but here are the top three Shint\u014d Shrines that have a rapport in Japan.
