Fushimi Inari Shrine Torii (鳥居): Everyone who’s been to this Shrine has this picture. Here’s mine. I took this from 1 foot off the floor with my Gorilla-pod, while vicious mosquitoes fed off my blood. I should have worn pants instead of shorts. :-( 伏見稲荷大社 is my favorite temple of Kyoto! I’m proud to say that I walked the whole trail (2+ hours up and down the mountain) that was lined by thousands of torii (鳥居). It’s not a small feat for someone out of shape like me! From japan-guid.com:”Fushimi Inari Shrine is the most famous of several thousands of shrines dedicated to Inari across Japan. Inari is the Shinto god of rice, and foxes are thought to be his messengers. Therefore, many fox statues can be found at Inari shrines. Fushimi Inari Shrine is also famous for the countless torii gates, offerings by worshippers, that cover the hiking trails of Inarisan, the wooded mountain behind the shrine’s main buildings. It takes about two hours to walk along the whole trail. Kitsune Udon (“Fox Udon”), a noodle soup topped with pieces of aburaage (fried tofu), a favorite food of foxes, is served at small restaurants along the hiking trail.”
