A Inari Shrine (稲荷神社)

AyeYai took me to a Inari Shrine without any information about here.

In 20 minutes, we arrive at here by a car from our house.

I don't know here, she knew this place a week ago.

These shrine gates were dedicated by someone.

There are a lot of tied paper fortunes.

It seems that this Shrine enshrines foxes.

It came as something of a surprised the nearby Shrine.
Name of the Shrine is "KOIZUMI INARI".

Oh wow! What a wonderful place!

I think I may have visited that shrine when I was very young.

A place where you visited may be Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto.
It's the most famous Shrine in Japan.

The following URLs are for the Shrine.

I didn't get a chance to see either of these shrines on my trip to Japan, but seeing the pictures I wish I had!
