Tunnel of Vermilion Blessings, the Senbon Torii of Otome Inari Shrine

#tokyospots At Otome Inari Shrine, beneath Nezu Shrine, rows of vermilion torii—echoing Kyoto’s famous Senbon‑torii (thousand torii) create an intimate, winding tunnel along a sloping path. Numbering in the hundreds, these gates are offered by worshippers in gratitude, inscribed with wishes fulfilled. Passing from north to south is believed to cleanse evil spirits and usher in renewed blessings, making the walk both spiritual and serene. #ueno #otomeinari
