Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine

If you come from Kyoto station, take the Keihan line train and get off at the second stop Fushimi Inari, it's 15 minutes. The Fushimi-Inari Shrine is the most impressive shrine out of the other 40,000 Shinto shrines in Japan. It has a vast network of corridors lined with countless torii and extending about 4 km. This place is wonderful and is undoubtedly one of the best places to visit in Kyoto. They told us that the Shinto god Inari is the god of grain and rice and his messenger on earth is the fox. It's a spectacular place.

Many tourist visit this shrine in it's simplest form. However getting deep into Inari is more fun. You will see another world if you go to deep into Inari to the so-called Okunoin(secret area).

The beauty of the thousands and thousands of tori gates that line the pathways here created an energetic space that radiates through the picture.
