Tour of Fushimi-Inari-Taisya Shrine
Kyoto
3 hours
(History of the shrine) Fushimi-Inari-Taisha Shrine was founded when the god Inari was enshrined on Mt. Inariyama in February, 711. It celebrated the 1300th anniversary of the god`s enshrinement and all the buildings in the ground were restored and re-painted with the vermilion color in 2011. (Highlights) Fushimi-Inari-Taisya Shrine is the "So-honzan" head shrine of 30,000 Inari shrines across the country. There are paths called "sen-bon-torii", meaning alleys of tunnels made of 1,000 torii gates. Actually, however, it is said there are a total of more than 10, 000 torii gates, large and small, in the shrine compound which includes the whole of Mt. Inariyama. You can reach the 233-meter-high top of the mountain, or rather a hill, going up the paths, but it will be a laborious, 1.5-hour walk amid the rich greenery. In the meantime, it is the guardian shrine of merchants and tradesmen, attracting millions of visitors in the New-Year period. A pair of foxes sitting at the base of the gates are regarded as the messenger of the god. (How to enjoy) Go through the huge torii gate and walk along the paved main road and you will be met by the huge main shrine building. Then, walk on unpaved narrow paths which are inside the tunnel of torii gates according to the instructions of the signboard. There are many vermilion-colored buildings on your way, souvenir shops and smaller structures selling charms. You can sit on the sides of the paths and enjoy chatting with your companions or have lunch. There are some places which commnd a fine view of the city of Kyoto. (Others) The JR fare is 140 yen one way from JR Kyoto station. No entrance fee is required (although you are expected to offer whatever amount of monetary donations at the mainn building). Also you are supposed to follow the tradition, including clapping your hands twice when you worship.
