The first attraction my friends bring me to is a shrine called Fushimi-Inari Taisha. It’s more far outside and we need some time in the train to get there. The big red gate, which is called torii, indicates a border between the mortal world and the spiritual world. After entering the latter we walked across the area of shrines. The traditional houses with the well known curved roofs cover little holy altars. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
