FUSHIMI INARI SHRINE
This place becomes tourist's favorite spot after the movie "Memoir of A Geisha".
Its countless torii gates which are offerings by workshippers, forms a trail over the mountain.
Take JR train to JR Inari Station, the second station from Kyoto on JR Nara Line. Admission is free.
Fox holding a key in its mouth, at the main gate.
Amazing, thousands of torri gates trailing up the mountain.
A smaller shrine on the way up.
Try to carry the stone after you make a wish, if you feel heavy then you wish is not granted.
Each of the torii is donated by a Japan Business. Engraved on each is the date of the offering.
We then took the train back to Kyoto Station, and took a bus to Kiyomizudera from Kyoto Station.
