Fushimi Inari Taisha with its thousands of vermillion torii gates is featured in Blue Exorcist's Kyoto arc, where Rin and his fellow exorcists confront powerful demons. The shrine's otherworldly tunnel of gates winding up the mountain perfectly embodies the boundary between the human and demon worlds.
📺 Scene from the Anime
