This picture is Kyoto Fushimi Inari Taisha when I visited this spring.
You see a fox in front of a vermilion big gate called "torii", this is entrance to shrine.
The fox is a messenger of crop god, and they loves fried tofu which is called Inari.
Inari sushi is inari pocket with vinegared rice.
I love Inari sushi, sweet juicy fried tofu with rice is heavenly.
I make it for lunch very often. Inari sushi is called sushi pocket overseas, I understand but I don't call it in that way.
By the way, Kyoto Fushimi Inari Taisha is so nice to visit.

This is famous shrine so many people including foreigners visit here.
Better to put comfortable shoes on because I think walking around here is tough. There are "senbon torii" , which is thousand of torii, we can walk up to hill. A thousand of vermilion gates are so beautiful to see and enjoy walking through.
