Fushimi Inari Taisha 伏見稲荷大社

Fushimi Inari Taisha 伏見稲荷大社 has a cool tunnel of torii.  Well, several it turns out.  Yep, that’s all we really knew about it when we decided to go.  Carra saw it in some tourist guide and that was that.

We ended up going twice, because we got there in the afternoon and the tunnels were too dark for photos.  Then it started raining. So we went again in the morning.
