The Gojo-Tenjin Shrine from Ueno Park is dedicated to the god of medicine and learning, but there’s also a secondary shrine dedicated to Inari, the kami of fertility, rice, agriculture and industry (a couple of photos from this Inari Shrine are here).
Inari shrines are usually adorned with many torii, donated by companies or families in gratitude for success. The Gojo-Tenjin Shrine is no exception, one of the entries is beautifully marked with red torii.
