Fushimi Inari Taisha (伏見稲荷大社), it is the head shrine of the god Inari. It is found in Fushimi Ward in Kyoto, Japan. Inari is the god of rice but some of the merchants and manufacturers worships Inari as the patron of business.

The map of the whole shrine

Here is the famous and Instagramable Torii 

It was actually dark, I just enhance the photo. It took us a few minutes to have a better photo. The shine has a lot of visitors even at night. 

This place was wonderful.It was a little unfortunate because we came in late on the site. But even though, it was far and it was also night time. We did enjoy the place. We took photos and give respect to the shrine. We also rang the bell and made a wish.

As Mcarthur's famous line said, "I Shall RETURN!" Next time with my cutie fambam! Plus I will make sure, it will daytime. hohoho =)

**Few tips, please make sure you will come earlier than us for more instagramable photos. The shrine is free of charge. It will be better, if you are also wearing a kimono. haha Cute! But you will have a hard time to hike, if you plan to explore the whole shrine. Always wear a comfortable shoes when travelling.

Finally, our Japan adventure will start with this post. Japan is one of my favorite countries I have been too. Thanks to my sister, who always listen to me. Hahaha I told her, it is much fun if we travel together for her 18th birthday than throwing a party. Love you sisumz! Nabrainwashing is my forte! Charot! 

Here is the front of the building. From afar, we can see the face of Hello Kitty. It is hypnotizing us. hahaha The kiddos in our tourist bus were so excited too.

This is the Cafe. Unfortunately, we do not have enough time to dine and unwind. huhu

Before exiting, the required place to visit and buy some souvenirs. 

I bought myself a cellphone case and stuffs for my cousins.

The place is so cute. It is really for Hello Kitty fans but if you are not a fan. You can skip this place. There are more interesting place in Jeju Island too. Especially, if you are a guy, only your girlfriend  or sister will have fun and will enjoy posing here and there. The only part I did not enjoy was the rooftop. The facilities on the rooftop such as the signage was ruined and not maintained properly. However, I am glad with my few hours of roaming around the area. It was educating and artsy. You will realize hype of this character was astonishing. It reached around the world and every decade will always be a successful one. With Sanrio characters, it feels like I am a kid again. In addition, I suggest to add more interactive activities inside the area.

If I will rate this place? I will give it a 4 stars out of 5 stars.

Small nippa hut in the middle of the pond. It is outside the museum. 

It feels like I am somewhere in Vietnam, standing here.
