The 1,000 torii gates here at Fushimi Inari are the result of the accumulation of votive offerings made by worshippers in appreciation for their wishes that their wishes “come true” or “have come true.
Although the name “1,000 torii” is given to the gates, it is said that there are actually nearly 10,000 of them.
