Travel
Shrine located n Fushimi-ku, Japan. The shrine sits at the base of a mountain also named Inari, and includes trails up the mountain to many smaller shrines.
Merchants and manufactures worship Inari for wealth. Donated torii (orange gates) lining foopaths are part of the scenic view.
Foxes, regarded as the messengers, are found in Inari shrines.
This was definitively one my favorite spots to visit. I think that we walked nearly 4 km inside this orange torii. Shrine is easily accessible from Kyoto station by train.
