How To Improve?

What should be added to this article to improve it from Start-class? I've got a few photos I could declare public-domain if that'd be helpful. --Kris Schnee 08:37, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More information on the history of the shrine, and if they're available on the architectural details of the shrine, would probably be welcome. References would help as well. Any major historical events which involved the shrine could probably be at least referenced in this article too. John Carter 13:56, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Popular culture

Some explanation on the link underneath Popular Culture would be useful as well. Just 'Memoirs of a Geisha' is not very clear. 195.177.83.221 (talk) 09:47, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The shrine was also a location used in Persona 5 Scramble/Strikers, the sequel to the JRPG Persona 5. 2604:3D09:1D7F:F920:4422:9D6F:8C24:7596 (talk) 07:13, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Torii count

@Dekimasu: Thanks for taking a look into this dispute! For these "10,000 torii" - is this presumably including the small torii at the various shrines? I... guess those "count", but I'd definitely flag them as something different. Unsure if Japanese has a proper term for the various small torii that merely are marking a dedication by some patron vs. the huge ones that form the path (and are 800–1,000), but presuming that this is what's being referred to, I think that difference should be made more explicit in the lede. But don't want to boldly make an edit in case there's some subtleties in the Japanese source that Google Translate isn't covering. SnowFire (talk) 21:41, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is talking about the whole environs, rather than on the main path. I thought it might be possible to solve the disagreement on the number by using both the larger one (stating that it's for all of the torii, but not eliminating it completely) and the smaller one (pointing out that the number there only covers the most famous area). If something else needs to be clarified or you would like me to look up something else in Japanese, let me know. Dekimasuよ! 04:20, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fushimi Inari-taisha is the main Shinto shrine of the Japanese deity Inari Ōkami, located in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto. It sits at the base of a mountain, also named Inari, located 233 metres (764 ft) above sea level. The site's earliest structures were built in 711 on the Inariyama hill in southwestern Kyoto, but the shrine was re-located in 816 on the request of the monk Kūkai. It gained imperial patronage during the early Heian period and the main shrine structure was built in 1499. This photograph shows a torii path at Fushimi Inari-taisha with a hanging lantern. Each of the shrine's roughly 10,000 torii (gates) was donated by a Japanese business, and approximately 800 of these are set up in rows, as depicted here, that give the impression of entering a tunnel.
