Foxes of Fushimi Inari Taisha, the famous Shinto shrine in Kyoto. ⛩️
The foxes at Fushimi Inari are not random decorations. They are kitsune, the sacred messengers of Inari Ōkami, the deity associated with rice, prosperity, business success and abundance.
@RoyceWilsonAU To be fair, Kyoto is so very walkable. Especially the touristy districts. One can easily go from Gion (train stations here) all the way up to Kiyomizu with a quick and stroll through the most picturesque areas, anyway.
@CholericCleric It doesn’t glow, no. And it was so tiny like the tip of a ballpoint pen. I tried really hard to get a clear picture, but you know…
(I’ll try to get another shot ☺️)

Japan is the most perfect place for people who want to do things alone. On my left, a lady eating salad from her bento; a little ahead, an elderly person reads a book; on my right, women look at their phones- everyone alone, but like together . 🌿
