This is my first post.
I’m a Japanese and i just want to introduce about Japan.
There is Fushimi inari - shrine in Kyoto Japan.
I think it’s very famous of shrine in Kansai-area for tourists.
Long time ago, I hadn’t seen English signs but now there are many English signs.
I believe that you have enjoyed time in there.

[Kitsune mon] (fox crests) a lovely yuuzen dyework by Yukiya, sprinkling symbols linked to Inari foxes imagery all across this kimono (lining included!). Much like what can be encountered in sanctuaries dedicated to Inari Okami, you can see here:
Vermillon torii gates, Senbon Torii is one of the most famous sights of Fushimi Inari Taisha:
Inaho (ear of rice) is part of the Inari symbols as the god-dess crops. A theory has that people made foxes Inari’s familiar because of their tails looked like rice ears in shape and color:
Byakko (white fox), a type of divine foxes and messengers of Inari (often depicted riding one). They are found on ema or as altars figurines:
Hôju (wish-fulfilling jewel), sometimes simply called tama (pearl/jewel), looking like a flaming ball symbolising the mitama (divine self) of Inari, probably of mainland influences. Foxes can hold it in their mouth, under their paws or at the top of their tails, symbol is also found used as crest (like in Izumo)
Yonekura no kagi (rice granary key), self telling as Inari cult was linked to bountiful harvests. Antique key were hook-like, so in time they came to represent abundance. Another theory stresses this might also symbolise an embelished kama/sickle:

A Fushimi Inari Taisha egy elképesztő spirituális élmény, azonban mindenkinek azt tudom tanácsolni, hogy korán reggel vagy pedig este látogassa meg, napközben ugyanis hemzseg a turistáktól, akiknek a többsége sajnos azt hiszi, hogy nem egy szentélyben, hanem Disney Landben van. Az Instagram influencereket és a vloggereket például kapásból kitiltanám. Szürkületkor felsétálni a hegyre, napnyugta után pedig lesétálni onnan viszont semmihez sem fogható. A lefelé vezető úton már több ponton is teljesen egyedül voltam, és leírhatatlan élmény volt több kis szentélynél is megállni imádkozni.
A Yasaka szentély szintén csodálatos, ám ide is reggel érdemes érkezni, amikor relatíve kevés a turista. Itt vásároltam egy új goshuinchot, ami remélem, szintén be fog telni az elkövetkező közel 3 hétben.
