Abstract :
The Virtual Shinto Shrine is an extensive image-based virtual tour of the Fushimi Inari Shrine located in the Kyoto´s mountains. Its ascending maze-like lay-out and the thousands of vermilion Torii Gates used to guide pilgrims to the summit make the visit to this shrine a unique experience. We have created this Virtual Tour to preserve and share the sacred beauty of this site with others
