Introduce Kyoto to Foreigners !!!
About 10,000 torii gates at Fushimi Inari Taisha continue to the summit of Mt. Inari.
Touring all the routes to the summit is called “mountain tour”.
If you go around the mountain slowly, it will take about 3 hours.
When you climb near the summit, you can see the wonderful cityscape of Kyoto.
Mountain tour is also popular with foreigners, and on weekdays there are more foreign tourists than Japanese.
After passing through the Senbon Torii gate, you will find “Omokaru Stone”.
Two lanterns are lined up, and “Omokaru Stones” are placed on top of the lanterns.
After thinking about your wishes in front of the lantern, lift the stone.
When you lift a stone, if you feel that the stone is lighter than you imagined, your wish will come true, and if you feel that the stone is heavier than you imagined, your wish will not come true.
Fushimi Inari Taisha is famous for its Senbon torii.
Since the Edo period, the torii gate has been built by the dedication of worshipers because it was said that the wish would come true if the torii gate was dedicated.
Large vermilion torii gates are lined up all over the precincts, and there are about 10,000 torii gates in Mt. Inari.
Depending on the size of the torii, the price ranges from 200,000 yen to over 1 million yen, and even ordinary people can dedicate the torii.
