This is pretty much the classic photo to take at Fushimi Inari. The site is famous for its torii, the red-orange wooden arches you see in abundance here; they are all. over. the mountain, in a dozen branching paths, leading to small shrines crammed onto every vaguely flat surface (and some that aren’t so flat). In most places the torii aren’t quite so closely packed, but when they are, they make for a very striking view.

I wanted to say that I'm enjoying these photo posts - this photo particularly is very striking!

Thank you! We were lucky that, because it was oh-melty-death hot that day, there were very few people there. I suspect that it's relatively difficult to get a clear shot of this path, without other visitors breaking it up.
