Inari Shrine

Honestly, the Inari Shrine is really neat! I definitely recommend going! You basically walk through tons of tori gates around the mountain. If you go at night, you can see the beautiful city lights through the trees. However, if you do go at night, bring a flash light! We had to rely on my classmate's phone and it was almost out of battery. Walking through the gates in the dark is kind of scary...






Foxes are Inari's messengers.









You can write wishes to the kami on the wooden plaques
















We found a map somewhere higher up. I don't think it really matters which way you go; it's a huge loop.





These are the names of the donors who paid for the tori gates.


















Even here there is a conveniently located vending machine!


I have no idea what this is and my camera isn't that great so I couldn't get a clear picture. I think it's kind of creepy...
