Morning sun lighting smoke in the woods with the vermilion gates of the Fushimi Inari Taisha in the background.

As night fell at the Fushimi Inari Taisha, the lights turned on. Instead of removing some of the magic the night brought this holy place, they only added a new layer of it.

A kitsune statue, representing the messenger of the kami Inari, watches as the Japanese maple turns colors against the sunset at the Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto, Japan.
