Fushimi Inari Shrine is an important Shinto Shrine in Southern Kyoto. It is also the most visited place in Japan. From the station, you could already see the red orange color for me symbolizes the color of Torii (gate) in shrines.
It was very easy to go there. After you arrived at the station, the Shrine is right in front of the exit. I could see the Torii (gate) of the FUSHIMI INARI SHRINE. As usual the place was crowded. You can’t find a famous place with less people, of course. Always bear in mind, every place has a lot of people. I heard that this shrine is famous for businessmen, but I didn’t think that only for business. I guess visitors there have different intentions to visit famous places regardless of the place purpose. In my case, I am not involved in Business, but I went there.
I didn’t miss the highlight of this FUSHIMI INARI SHRINE, the tunnel of Torii (gates). It was approximately 1000 torii arranged in a row like a tunnel. It was really attractive due to its color, and it felt refreshing. I heard that every Torii is donated by businessmen. Amazing! There were many things waited you to see inside after this famous Torii(gates).
Probably, I spent almost two hours to roam around inside the Temple. Of course, after seeing an attractive scenery. I felt hungry and I didn’t miss the ramen in Kyoto. So, my feet took me in this area near the temple. The staff were very approachable and friendly.
It was indeed Kyoto a nice place and has delicious food too. Not only your eyes are amused but also your tummy is satisfied. Visit there and experience Kyoto.
