Fushimi Inari Grand Shrine

As always me and Jens seems to have something going on every weekend and this last one was of no difference. Aside from the fantastically fun visit to a local Izakaya (Japanese styled bar, drink how much you want for 2-hours) with a lot of great people, we actually did something soberly as well. We paid a visit to the Fushimi Inari shrine!

This shrine is very special since normally in Japan when you go to a shrine you are welcomed by a big red gate (from here on referred to as Torii since that's what they are called) but at Fushimi I heard from a old person we meet there that there was over 10,000 torii throughout the whole place! And it's probably true, because you'll see these gates absolutely everywhere you look at the place.

The whole area is a long, long road which probably took us about 3-3½ hours to go (with a lot of stops everywhere, we was quite a large amount of people) and on the way you see a lot of shrines and torii.

Other than that I don't have much to add, look at the pictures as always and try to get a feeling for the place, I really liked it and it's easily the best "sightseeing" place I've been to yet. Jens went nuts with the camera this time so there's a lot to look at, behold!
