Probably the most famous shrine in Kyoto is the Fushimi Inari Shrine. This is the shrine the the tunnel of red gates. What many people don’t know is that the neighborhoods surrounding that shrine have their own smaller Inari Shrines. This one is called Gosha Daimyojin. These shrines are kept and maintained by the people living in the neighborhoods. I visited this shrine while walking to the…

Right off the Ashiyu Onsen Station of the Saitama Metro (and next to the onsen itself), Salmaru Grand Shrine enshrines Salmaru Daimyojin, who descended to SL as a builder. As you might be able to guess from the bills his statue holds, he conveys good financial luck!

Fushimi-Inari Taisha famous places in kyoto

Fushimi Inari Taisha is one of the most famous shrines in Japan, located in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto City. This shrine is dedicated to Inari Daimyojin, and is especially known for its ``Senbon Torii''. Fushimi Inari Taisha has a very long history as a shrine dedicated to the god Inari. The shrine was founded a long time ago, and Inari is believed to be the god of fertility, prosperous business, and protection from disasters. The main feature of this shrine is the 1,000 torii gates leading to the shrine. The approach to the shrine is lined with vermilion-painted torii gates of various sizes, and the scenery is very impressive. Torii gates were donated, and many companies and individuals donate them to pray for the prosperity of themselves and their businesses. Also famous are the ``red egg'' with a red onion motif, which is associated with the Yamaoka family, and the ``ema'' (votive tablet). In addition to visiting the shrine and taking photos, tourists can purchase souvenirs and write their wishes on votive tablets. Fushimi Inari Taisha is an important shrine that attracts worship from not only tourists but also local people, and is visited by many people throughout the year. It is very crowded, especially during the New Year and the autumn leaves season, when many people visit.

The Japan you don't know. God in the Rice Paddies, with Pictures of Japanese People 100 Years Ago　

Tanaka Inari Daimyojin 3-21-33 Shimotakaido, Suginami-ku, Tokyo

Standing in a gap in a residential area, this sanctuary is located at the end of a narrow alley that one might easily pass by. For some reason, the torii gate is low enough to be entered by bending down.

Is it because of the danger of earthquakes, or is it because the torii gates of the Edo period were built at such a low height? Since many of those remaining today are low, was it made the same height as the torii gates of old?

I am a little concerned about this, but the clean precincts show the love of the local people who take care of this place.

It is a sanctuary that I am grateful for. https://youtu.be/Xm62kLsQgnM

enjoying the spring flowers in omura and saga

On a sunny day in April of this year, I visited several flower gardens with friends, one in my town of Omura and one in Saga called Mifuneyama Rakuen.

The garden we visited in Omura was up in the mountains called Matsumoto Azalea Garden. There were winding paths through large fields of bright blue flowers and hedges of azaleas. I think we just missed the period of full bloom, so many of the azaleas had darkened or turned green, but it was still breathtaking. I can't imagine how much more beautiful they are at full bloom.

Next we drove about an hour north into Saga prefecture to Mifuneyama Rakuen, which held another large azalea park nestled under the mountain. These azaleas too were not in full bloom, but the rows and rows of flower bushes lined up under the mountain was so beautiful. You could also climb up and walk between the bushes, and it felt like a bewildering maze of color.

The wisteria at the park were also starting to bloom, so we spent some time sitting under them enjoying their color and smell.

After climbing up part of the mountain through the flowers and woods, we saw an overgrown building through a gap in the trees. It looked kind of like a school. As Japan's rural populations shrink and more people move toward the convenience of nearby cities, many buildings are being forgotten and overtaken by nature like this.

The flower garden paths then lead into the forest and you can enjoy a short forest trail leading to a cave. This cave holds the Inari Daimyojin deity and is said to have been visited 1300 years ago by the famous priest Gyoki who carved 500 Arhats.

There was a small TeamLab exhibit at this park as well, so we decided to check it out. TeamLab creates interactive art exhibits that can be found all over the world, and some of the most famous ones are in Japan. I went to one in Tokyo and Fukuoka. If you want to read more about the exhibit in Fukuoka, my blog post is here.

This TeamLab exhibit was incredibly interesting because it was placed inside of an abandoned hot spring bath house. In the first room, we found an abandoned bath area covered in creatures and flowers made of light, which moved around the room. According to the TeamLab website, you can draw a picture of a creature and watch it come to life. In order to represent the process of life cycles, your creature may eat other creatures and multiply. TeamLab exhibits always have some deeper meaning behind their conception which makes you think more deeply about the world and your place in it.

The bath house where the exhibit is located is very interesting because the creators of the exhibit left most of the abandoned building untouched. When you walk through the building between exhibits, you can see rubble and dilapidated walls. It's very interesting and made the exhibit feel much more spiritual, like you are in a place that is forgotten and still stuck in the past.

The next part of the exhibit was a long hallway, lit by lanterns and eerily quiet. When you reach the end of the hallway, there is a simple flame crackling. The eternal flame can be found directly below the old forest above, and represents the everlasting quality of nature.

Next we entered the neighboring bathing room to find many impressive megaliths breaking out from beneath the earth. Each one was lit up and would alternate between different images. Being located in a forest with 3000 year old trees, the megaliths are supposed to represent "a mass made up of compressed space-times where the flow of times varies." According to the exhibit, the images projected on the megaliths are generated in real time by a computer program, never prerecorded or on a loop. Each moment is unique as the images constantly change, and the images will never be exactly the same. It was so beautiful and made me feel like just a speck in the vast space of time.

Next we walked into the attached hotel of the bath house, which still operates today. The lobby was filled with floating lanterns and mirrors, which gave the room the look that it stretched on forever. I honestly got lost walking around trying to find the exit and admittedly bumped into a few mirrors.

Lastly, we went into a dark room lit by only an exhibit of flames. The illusion of flames was created by a huge grid of tiny pinpoints of light. When you get closer to the grid, the flame gets brighter, and when you walk away it becomes smaller again.

Apparently there were more exhibits outside on the grounds of the park, but since they involve light they could only be viewed in the evening and we weren't able to see them. If you'd like to check them out, you can read more about them on the TeamLab website here!

Overall, this was a really fun and magical day, experiencing the beauty of the spring flowers and having an existensial crisis about the flow of time in the TeamLab exhibit. I hope you enjoyed reading <3

Shoichii Inari Daimyojin .   Inari Ōkami  is the Japanese kami of foxes, fertility, rice, tea and sake, of agriculture and industry, of general prosperity and worldly success[citation needed], and one of the principal kami of Shinto.[wiki]

What to call Kami

It is extremely important to call kamisama by their respectful names, with the correct suffixes. It is disrespectful to do otherwise, and if done knowingly can cause “bachi”. Here I will tell you the rules for addressing them appropriately.

Commonly Seen Suffixes

大御神: Omikami. Omikami is the highest title, and only 2 kami have it: 豊受大 御神 Toyouke Omikami and 天照大御神 Amaterasu Omikami.

稲荷大神: Inari Okami. Okami means ‘Great Kami’, and other kamisama who are seen as especially powerful get this suffix.

様: “-sama”. It is the respectful suffix to use for someone in general in Japanese, and a safe option. Example: 伊邪那美様 Izanami-sama

Other Common Suffixes

大明神: Daimyojin. It is the respectful suffix, meaning “Great Bright Kami”. Usually indicates renown or some level of fame, similar to Okami.

明神: Myojin, same as above except meaning “Bright Kami”. Example: 神田明神 Kanda Myojin

尊 or 命: “-no-Mikoto”. Another respectful suffix that is only used for specific kami. Example:伊弉諾尊 Izanagi-no-Mikoto

姫 or 売命: “-hime”. Only used for female/feminine kami, sometimes followed by “-sama” or “-no-Mikoto”. Example: 須勢理毘売命 Suseribime-no-Mikoto

天: “-ten”. Only used for Buddhist figures, originally meaning “deva” in Hindi. Is still usually followed by “-sama”. Example: 弁才天

Mobius Megamix CG - Psycho Fox

=== A young fox from Inari Island.

More importantly, his is able to transform between a fox, gorilla, hippo and Tiger form with the aid of a psycho stick, each affecting his speed and strength. Whether this is thanks to the aid of the priests or through natural ability is somehow unknown. --- [Origin: Psycho Fox]
