I have visitted Fusimi Inari Shrine twice. This place is famous for the servant of the God whose figure is like Japanese fox. There are a lot of Torii
which vistors in the long past represent their appreciation for fulfilled
wishes. In the
night, the silent and solemn atmosphere fills the whole place.
○Genkouan
This place was founded in 1346. It is called Genkouan, which is famous for the circle window of the
Enlightenment and the square window of the Carnal Desires. In autumn, visitors can enjoy beautiful autumn leaves. The ceiling of
the main hall is made use of the remains of Fushimi Catsle whose blood ceiling represent the
tragedy of fallen catsle.
