This intriguing shrine was dedicated to the god of rice and sake by the Hata clan in the 8th century. As the role of agriculture diminished, deities were enrolled to ensure prosperity in business enterprises.
The magical, seemingly unending path of over 5000 vibrant orange torii gates that wind through the hills behind Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine makes it one of the most popular shrines in Japan. The walk around the upper precincts is a pleasant day hike. It also makes for a delightfully eerie stroll in the late afternoon and early evening, when the various graveyards and miniature shrines along the path take on a mysterious air.
This shrine, dedicated to the god of rice and sake in the 8th century, also features dozens of statues of foxes. The fox is seen as the messenger of the god of grain foods, Inari, and the stone foxes are often known by the same name. The keys often depicted in the fox mouths are keys to granaries. This shrine is the central location for some 40,000 Inari shrines throughout the entirety of Japan. (source)
Lepas habis tour tu, ada pulak member yang nak kirim poskad ke malaysia. So, kami pun gerak ke post office.. wah, besar post office nya...

Hokeyyyy... perut dah berbunyi minta diisi :))
Misi meredah mencari tempat untuk dinner pulak...
Misi meredah mencari tempat untuk dinner pulak...
hmmm...malam ni dinner dengan sushiiiiiiiii....
First time nak makan sushi ni.. kalau kat Malaysia ni, memang akak takkan makan makanan Jepun tu, walau pun member ada yang nak belanja.. :))
wahhh.. makanan lalu di depan mata gitu. Sebenarnya, memang tekak akak ni tak lalu nak makan ikan, udang mentah-mentah gitu... rasa meloya teruihhh. Mintak maaflah saper yang sedang baca ni ye..jangan kecam akak..heheheee.. tapi tekak akak ni tekak melayu sejati.. huhuuu..
So, akak cuma ambik yang nampak bergoreng je macam tempura dan undang salut tepung ni dan juga roasted salmon & eel..
Bagi yang tak tau apa dalam pinggan ni..
Ini ialah wasabi.. Ingatkan wasabi ni sejenis sos pedas, rupanya ia adalah sejenis lada yang kemudiannya dicampurkan dengan kicap manis sikit. Tapiiiiii.. walaupun pedas, tetap tekak akak ni tak leh nak terima rasa wasabi ni.. tak sedap.. bagi tekak akak ni lah...huhuuuu...
Akak cuma mampu makan sebanyak 7 piring pilihan saja.. dan harganya ialah 100JPY bagi setiap 1 piring. Ok lah tu.. buat alas perut..heheheee..
Dah kenyang, kami sambung lagi berjalan ke menyelusuri Kamoo River... scenery sangat cantikkkk..dengan penuh bunga sakura..
Lepas tu, kami berjalan memasuki satu lorong yang dinamakan Pontocho.. sebut elok-elok ye.. bukan pocho-pocho.. hahaha :)
Okeyyyy.. dah penat seharian di luar, kaki pun dah tak larat nak melangkah lagi, kami pun balik ke hostel dengan menaiki bas.. lebih kurang pukul 10 malam baru sampai dan check in. Ya Allah..memang penat giler badan, lunyai rasanya...
