Comments on: Kyoto’s Dazzling Fushimi Inari Shrine http://regex.info/blog/2008-05-28/825 Not a photo blog, but sometimes I play one on TV Sun, 23 Nov 2008 12:15:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.12-alpha by: nils http://regex.info/blog/2008-05-28/825#comment-18114 Fri, 30 May 2008 15:04:59 +0000 http://regex.info/blog/2008-05-28/825#comment-18114 My wife's family has gravesites all over kyoto, but the main one is at the very top of Fushimi Inari, conveniently near the little resthouse/snackshop there. Funny thing, two of the times I went up there, the Kuroneko man was also going up with supplies for that rest house. He puts on a big backpack to hold the packages, and then he jogs all the way up like everyone else. I would assume he drops off the packages down below, but no, it's a full-service company. All the way to the top. Unbelievable. My wife’s family has gravesites all over kyoto, but the main one is at the very top of Fushimi Inari, conveniently near the little resthouse/snackshop there.

There are several in this post that I think are wonderful photos all around, even without the entertaining story. Hi Jeffrey,

You got some really nice images on this trip. There are several in this post that I think are wonderful photos all around, even without the entertaining story.

Your photos are great for getting some different perspectives on the place, but I know there is nothing like being there in person...

When I consider that we were in Kyoto and chose to visit some of the other sites instead of here, I want to kick myself. Your photos are terrific. Thanks for posting. What a gorgeous place.

"Fusimi-inari" is also famous for sparrow which is skewered and grilled.(really!) I've not visited there yet , and I want to go.

The location is certainly worthy of a geocache! Chris Can’t wait to hear how the geocaching went with Anthony. The location is certainly worthy of a geocache!
