Fushimi Inari Shrine was founded in 711 by the Hata family, over 80 years before Kyoto became the capital of Japan, in 794. The shrine’s principal deity is Ukanomitama-no-Mikoto - a mythical figure who is the goddess of rice and food, and who is closely identified with the (rather nebulous) god Inari.[wiki].
