FUSHIMI INARI TAISYA (Fushimi inari shrine)

The second shrine is FUSHIMI INARI shrine.

This shrine is original of all Inari shrine.

Inari shrines worship the god of business.So many people visit here to pay homage at a shrine.

This shrine is also famous because of the SENBON TORII.

Torii is the gate at the entrance to shrine.

Senbon means 1,000,so SENBON TORII means 1,000 Toriis.

But correctly, there are about handreds Toriis.

So SENBON TORII means so many Toriis.

YASAKAJINJYA (Yasaka shrine)

The first is YASAKA shrine.

It takes about 10 minutes from GionSijyo station at Keihan line.

From station's exit, you can see a very big gate at east. The contrast of big red gate and behind mountain's green is very beautiful.

But this gate is not main gate. Main gate is on south side. It is very small and simple.

I recommend that you should enter from west big gate first,and enter from main gate again.
