Fushimi Inari Shrine

July 25th, 2016

Inari is the god of rice and the fox is thought to be the messenger of Inari.  This shrine contained endless red and black painted gates that line the trails from one shrine to the next with statues of foxes throughout.  We were told that to get to the very top of the shrine, it would take a couple of hours, we didn’t have that much time and only got to see the part that was at the bottom of hill.
