1Day 01
We pass through the large Torii gate at the entrance to the sanctuary, separating the world of the living from that of the spirits. We then pass through the Romon tower, where the two guardians of the place welcome us.We arrive at the main hall, the Honden, where we can greet the goddess Inari, the mistress of the place. Inari is the goddess of rice and harvests, and by extension the protector of trade. Her guardian animal is the fox.We climb the mountain via its maze of stairs. This is the highlight of the visit: the whole path is dotted with these 10,000 torii, gates, which make the place famous. It is an opportunity for us to recharge our batteries and feast our eyes.We arrive at the Mount Inari observatory, which overlooks all of Kyoto. The climb was well worth it! It's an opportunity for us to take pictures and rest from this very sporty climb. After that, we can go back down to the main hall... or, for the more daring, continue to the summit.
