Fushimi Inari Taisha

Wednesday, November 18, 2009

Yes, this is where Sayuri walks through in Memoirs of A Geisha!

Best way to get to Fushimi Inari is to take a JR to Inari Station, the second station from Kyoto on the JR Nara Line. Fushimi Shrine is just located outside the statiion!

No admission fees, and takes about 2 hours to walk through the whole line of Inari torii gates.

Fushimi Inari Taisha is the head shrine of Inari, located in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, Japan. The shrine sits at the base of a mountain also named Inari, and includes trails up the mountain to many smaller shrines.

Because Inari is the god of business, each of the Torii is donated by a Japanese business. Merchants and manufacturers worship Inari for wealth. Donated torii lining footpaths are part of the scenic view.

Foxes (kitsune), regarded as the messengers, are often found in Inari shrines. One attribute is a key (for the rice granary) in their mouths.
