This is first time trip to Kyoto, and our first destination is Fushimi Inari Taisha 伏見稲荷大社.
This gate is so famous, even when I was kids I already seen this remarkable orange gates in on movie, Memoirs of Geisha. The moment Chiyo-chan run through the thousands gate to pray so she can meet again to the kind man who buy her sweets.
Today is some sort of holiday and so many visitors are coming. It is impossible to take photo without anybody else.
Hundred (-thousand ?) Temples
Don’t ask me what temples is this or that. But at least so many people coming to take photo and pray.
Me waiting in line to pray, as so many people standing, I decided to take selfie ahehehe..
