Oinari-san, the deity
“Oinari-san,” the deity of Fushimi Inari Taisha, is the god of grain and agriculture that symbolizes rice (Inari god).
Inari God was originally a god who controlled a good harvest, but now it is also worshiped as a god of business prosperity, industrial prosperity, family safety, traffic safety, and improvement of performing arts.
The foxes you see a lot in the precincts are not the Inari gods, but the messenger of the Inari God.
