This is the traditional event held in Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine. This shrine is one of the most famous shrines known in not only Kyoto but also all over the world.

A Shinto priest burn more than a hundred-thousand skewers dedicated every year with a prayer.

This conduct held in winter, is to bring back the God who went down a mountain to harvest in fall.

Fushimi Inari Taisha is the mystical place known for many tourists but I think you didn’t know the festival like this is held.

We can go and see this dynamic and exciting festival in every November. There is no other way without taking pictures of this photogenic festival.
