Highlight • Religious Site

Absolutely impressive. The area is huge and from the mountain you have a nice view of Kyoto. It is definitely worth the many steps through the Torii to climb.

There is a constant coming and going here. From here you can start the tour and decide whether to go clockwise or counterclockwise, but most walk counterclockwise.

The deity Gondayu Okami is worshiped at this shinseki (the site of the former shrine where a deity remains). Behind it you have a breathtaking view of the city center of Kyoto and the area in the north.

March 15, 2024,Füchse und Schreintore in Kyoto 🦊⛩️🦊⛩️🇯🇵
And off to excursion number 2. The slow train to southern Kyoto and fortified with unagi - eel on rice. The program includes the Fushimi Inari-Taisha shrine complex. The crowds are already moving along the streets from the train station to the entrance to the complex and things are no better at the main shrine gate. The first few doors …

This morning got off to a good start. I woke up just before 5 and then straight to the train. I got off 2 stations further and then you are right in front of the temple. I didn't think it was such a big area with all the ⛩️. Above all, I always thought there was a way. But there …

How quickly time flies... In the first week everything felt so incredibly long and suddenly it's here, the day of the trip home. 🤨

Since we didn't have to leave for the airport until midday, we were able to spend the morning extensively... You might think it's time to sleep in 🤣... But not so. We were able to get …

The shrine is dedicated to the goddess Inari; all the gates are donations from families, …

After a short lunch break, we drove to Mt. Inari and its shrines. Wiki says: Particularly famous are the avenues of thousands of orange torii on the grounds of Fushimi Inari-taisha, all of which are donations from individuals, families, or companies. They lead up a hill, at the top of which, unusually for a Shinto shrine, the sanctuary (in this …
