One of Japan's most famous shrine, the Fushimi-Inari Shrine is a must-visit when in Kyoto. Founded in AD 711 and dedicated to the goddess of rice-growing, Ukanomitama-no-mikoto, the shrine is still frequented by merchants and tradesmen who pray for prosperity. The mail building dates from 1499 and features a spectacular four-kilometer-long avenue of bright orange 'torii', or arches, each dedicated by a business (it takes some two-hours to travel past the 32,000 arches lining the route). Also notable are its many sculptures of foxes, reputed to be messengers of the gods. Hot Tip: Fortify yourself with the purchase of traditional Japanese fortune cookies from the shops and stands at the shrine
