Meeting point: You will meet your guide-interpreter at your accommodation in Kyoto City or at JR Kyoto Station.
After the meet, we will take a taxi to our first destination, Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine.

Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine

Fushimi Inari Taisha, affectionately known as "Oinari-san," is the head shrine of the approximately 30,000 Inari shrines across Japan. Its history predates the capital's relocation to the Heian period, and it is said to have been founded in 711. It is said to bring good fortune in business prosperity and safety in the home, and is crowded with many worshippers throughout the year. As you walk through the grounds, you will encounter "foxes," messengers of Inari Okami, everywhere. In front of the tower gate, there is a statue of a fox with the symbols A and Un, holding a "jewel" on the right and a "key" on the left. There are also other statues holding scrolls and ears of rice, and they are dressed in a variety of different ways, so it's fun to walk around checking them out.
