Fushimi Inari Taisha ⛩️ | Hiking Kyoto's 10,000 Red Gates!

Another Kyoto must-visit! We woke up early to visit Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto. This is the famed shrine with 10,000 red gates lining a path through the wooded forest of Mount Inari. The shrine is dedicated to Inari, the Shinto god of rice agriculture, but he is also worshipped by those in business. The foxes seen throughout the shrine are regarded as Inari's messengers - one of them holds a key in his mouth symbolizing the keys to the rice granary. The red torii gates along the entire trail, are all donations by both individuals and companies. Also, if this place looks familiar, you probably recognize it from the movie 'Memoirs of a Geisha'!

"Fushimi Inari Taisha | Visiting the Shrine with 10,000 Red Gates in Kyoto!"
Hey guys! We are Samuel and Audrey, a vlogging travel couple from Canada. In this travel channel, we share our travel and food vlogs while touring the world. Our most recent trip was to Japan where we spent 2 months travelling around the country and visiting the following destinations: Osaka, Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, Nikko, Takayama, Yokohama, Odaiba, Shirakawa-gō and Takao.
During our stay, we visited a mixture of big cities and small rural towns, where we enjoyed eating Japanese street food, trying traditional Japanese cuisine, visiting local attractions and staying in unique accommodations (such as capsule hotels and ryokans) that we are now going to share with you on this channel. The combination and contrast of visiting futuristic cities and traditional countryside areas is what makes travel to Japan so fascinating. Ultra modern versus traditional. This is the essence of Japan.
Our trip to Japan was unforgettable and until now it is one of our favourite countries that we have come to know. However, we only feel as though we just scratched the surface on this trip to Japan. If you want to see more videos from Japan in the future, let us know in the comments that places you'd like us to travel to and food experiences you would like to see on this travel channel.
