Kyoto, JAPAN: Fushimi Inari-Taisha 伏見稲荷大社 (Part 3)
Part 3 - This is the third part of the Fushimi Inari-Taisha series. The information on this page is pretty much the same as part 1 and 2. Hope you like what you see and have the chance to visit Japan soon.
This is Fushimi Inari-Tasha: Inari is the God of rice, but is also seen as the patron of business, so during the Japanese New Year and at the first of every month people flock to this Shrine from all over Japan to pray for the prosperity of their businesses. I have personally been to many shrines and temples around Japan and I must say that I did notice a difference in the attire of the attendees of this shrine. Japan is a hardworking country with countless businesses, so the business attire of those at the shrine wasn't lost on me. You see more nice suits, and well-dressed groups of people male and female. I don't believe the people are trying to be flashy or cool, they are just wearing their best business attire to attend the shrine, because the Japanese New Year is also a festive time, and a time of new hope for the year. Business and The Company is very serious here in Japan, so I also saw large groups of salarymen obviously all from the same company walking together up the long stairways up the mountain and praying at the smaller shrines.
This is one of the most famous shrines in Japan, and is visited as you can see in the video by literally thousands of people a day. However that isn't a bad thing if you don't like crowds. If you are coming from a western country you will be happy to know that here in Japan being in a crowded place can be very comfortable. There is no pushing or shoving. There aren't any arguments or complaining. The scene while walking up the crowded staircases to the top is quite orderly, so much so that you forget that you are in such a crowded space.
As I have said before in my other videos. If you are coming to Japan be prepared to walk (a lot) this shrine is no exception. The walk to the top of this shrine takes about 45 minutes, step after step, staircase after staircase all the way to the top. There are about 3 or 4 areas on the way to the top that have a small restaurant so that you can eat or get something to drink and relax before continuing on.
Now I mention about all the walking, because it's important for us foreigners that live in countries where our lives are dominated by using our cars everyday and the chance to walk due to safety and convenience is limited. However don't feel too bad if the little 80 year old lady next to you passes you easily on the way to the top without even breathing hard. You will see that kind of thing all day. Leaves me in awe every time. I did happen to see an older man have to be carried down from the top by rescue workers on my last visit, so while it isn't a hard walk it can be difficult for those that don't walk much. There is so much to see at this shrine though that walking to the top isn't even necessary to enjoy coming here. Spending time at the lower portion of the Shrine will be well worth it for those who can't walk to the top.
All that being said, this is one of the easiest shrines to get to. From Kyoto station you can take the Nara train line and it's only 2 stops, and when you get off the train and exit the station you almost walk right into the shrine. Possibly a 2 minute walk. You can't beat this shrine for convenience.
The Torii (gate): There are over 40,000 Torii at this shrine, each donated by a business here in Japan. Pretty amazing.
Here is a link to the Fushimi Inari Taisha website. In Japanese it seems, but still worth checking out.
And yes, this is the shrine from Memoirs of a Geisha.

綾瀬富士(綾瀬稲荷神社)---東京都足立区
2014年6月3日撮影。
東京都足立区綾瀬4-9-9にある綾瀬稲荷神社。創建時期ははっきりしないが1614年とも言われ、江戸時代には五兵衛新田村の鎮守で、稲荷社と呼ばれていました。明治7年に五兵衛神社と改称、昭和42年に綾瀬稲荷神社と改称。境内には浅間神社、三峯神社、他にも祭神不明の祠があります。
綾瀬稲荷神社の富士塚はどうやら築造時期はわからないようだ。ただ、社殿右奥にあったものを昭和2年に移築したようだ。高さは約4メートル。
