Outer Oratory

Gaibaeden at Fushimi Inari Taisha is a worship hall located between the Romon gate and the main hall at Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto. Rebuilt in 1840, the wooden hall has twelve iron lanterns painted with the twelve zodiac signs hung under its eaves. It is where five portable shrines were lined up during the Inari Festival and is designated a National Important Cultural Property. It tends to be crowded with worshippers during the day.
