(Torii Corridor)
Long time no see guys.
To people who visit here for the first time, let me introduce about myself.
I'm a Japanese blogger who loves foreign cultures, wanting you to love Japanese cultures as I love them.
Today I will talk about the day in Kyoto, Fushimi Inari Taisya, and what you should do in Kyoto.
You know it is the best that Japanese who know it well introduce about it.
Fushimi Inari Taisya(Shrine) is also popular in Japan.
Long time ago I saw some beautiful pics of Fushimi Inari Taisya(Shrine) in Twitter.
Since I saw them, I've been obsessed with Fushimi Inari Taisya.
When it is lighted up, it is sooooo amazing.
Then I made up my mind to visit there someday.

Where is Fushimi Inari Taisya?
It is located in the south area in Kyoto.
You can go there by Keihan train or JR train.
I used Keihan train, so I will tell you how to go there from "Fushimi Inari" station.
When you come out from the station, you must go to your left, and go up the way.
There are a lot of people going to Fushimi Inari Taisya, so all you have to do is following them.
Walking for 10 minutes, you will get there.
If you want to take photos in which no one appears, you should go there before 7 o'clock in the morning,
Keihan train begins to run since 6 o'clock, I guess.
So I recommend you to book hotels close to Fushimi Inari.

When I visited there in 7 o'clock, there are already some people.
Seeing many foreign people makes me proud of Kyoto.
Visiting Fushimi Inari Taisya
(Torii)
Before going through the Torii, you must bow.
When you walk, it is the best to walk in the side of the road.
(Because the centre is the area in which the god walks)
Then, you wash your hands there.
Have a pail in your right hand, and pour water on your left hand.
Then you should do it in your left hand.
Now your hands are purified.
Next. drink water out of your left hand.
Your mouth is purified, too.
Pour water on your left hand with a pail.
Finally, tip a pail and soak its handle.
Put it with turned over.
That's all.
(The Main Shrine)
Go through~
As you see this pic, it is so big!
There is mini shrine "Higashimaru Shrine".
It is said that the God here makes you study harder, and get high scores in exams.

The foxes are thought as errands of the God.
But many Japanese still think the fox itself is the God lol.
(The place you hang Ema, on which you write your dream)
Finally I got here!
(Torii corridor or many trii)
You can see red, red, red in your view.
To think how many torii are there... my head are spinning around.
Sunshine fall between corridors, it is so whimsical.
I'm too lazy to climb a whole way, so I came back on the way.
If you have physical strength enough to climb, I recommend you to try.
When I came back to the first torii, it became around 9 o'clock.
It is crowded with many people.
Near Fushimi Inari Taisya, there are a lot of food stands.
Takoyaki, fruit juice, dango, and so on.
You can eat many Japanese foods there.
Do you know Scraped Strawberries?
They are strawberries scraped, and covered with condensed milk.
It's soooo SWEEET!!!
I never seen it in other places, so you should eat there.
Soz there are no pics of scraped strawberries, because I was concentrating to eat them.
Fushimi Inari Taisya in the night
In night, I visited Fushimi Inari Taisya again.
I heard the Fushimi Inari Taisya lighted up is beautiful.
(As I imagined, it was so amazing)
I'm new to use camera,
So I couldn't take good pictures in the night...
But I was excited to think as I am in the Ghibli world(You know "Spirited Away" focus on the red colour)
