Inari Shrine, Kyoto

Touristy (this shot and the bamboo forest shots must be on every camera in Kyoto) but spectacular to see the torii (there are 10,000) that stretch up the mountain and date back to the year 711.  There are 32,000 lesser shrines around the mountain.

This shrine honors the Shinto god of rice, and is protected by many fox sculptures who carry a key in their mouth. It's a very popular destination for school trips!

One of the funniest things
