The awesome beauty of Kyoto's Kinkakuji, the Golden Pavilion. Kept pristine, shiny gold, reflective of the sunlight on a June summer's day. The grounds are perfectly groomed to enhance the peace & serenity of the temple.

In 1895, to commemorate the 1,100th year since the Heian Capital's founding, the citizens of Kyoto deified Emperor Kammu as the ancestral god of Kyoto and created a shrine in the style of Chodo-in which is the main edifice of the Heian Capital.

AT Fushimi Inari Shrine, Senbon torii (thousands of torii gates) line the mountain trails
Fushimi Inari is the most important of several thousands of shrines dedicated to Inari, the Shinto god of rice. Foxes are thought to be Inari's messengers, resulting in many fox statues across the shrine grounds. Fushimi Inari Shrine has ancient origins, predating the capital's move to Kyoto in 794.
