The mountain paths really are outright littered with torii, donated by various merchants, companies and manufacturers. This part of the path between the main and inner shrine buildings is probably the most famous part. Where the path splits up in two and the torii are set even closer than anywhere else on the mountain.

The second torii you pass, coming from Inari Station, leading up to the main shrine. To the left of the torii and the Rōmon (tower gate) behind it (as well as to my right) you can see the main fountain for washing your hands and mouth.

The moment we settled for a Japan holiday, it was clear to me that I wanted to visit this place: The Fushimi Inari-taisha. The best known and most important Inari shrine in the whole of Japan. Here we are standing at the entrance on the street, right outside the JR Inari Station. Of course the various footpaths will allow you to reach the shrine grounds from just about any side of the mountain. But it will take quite a while to reach it, depending on your starting point. This is certainly the quickest way there.

View onto the Minami-za on Shijō Street, right next to the Kamo-gawa (we're having our backs to the river here) and Gion-Shijō Station of the Keihan Main Line. It is the primary kabuki theatre of Kyoto. The current building dating from 1929, but the theatre itself from 1610.

We wanted to take a photo of another street to have several showing the atmosphere of Gion. Especially here an empty street in comparison to the more crowded one before. The tourist you can see to the left noticed us wanting to take a photo but did not show any intention to leave, so my brother took the shot anyway. And by accident caught a Geiko (judging by the footgear) passing by. She was awfully quick (hence rather blurred), the short steps notwithstanding. I had heard that they were able to move that fast. Now I'd seen it with my own two eyes to be true.

Night fell and we went on to pay a short visit to Gion. You could see the prominence of the district in just about everything. Including the prices on the menu.

The view from below up to the terrace. If you still don't get why I consider jumping down there a bad idea...

Another picture from nearly the same spot, this time placing the main pagoda right in a matching space left free by the tree to the left.

I had to hurry the picture due to people constantly passing by, unfortunately. Hence it being slightly crooked.

View from next to the small pagoda towards the main buildings with the pagoda and famous terrace. As you can see there's currently work done on several of the buildings. And will be for quite some time yet, according to plans.

The small pagoda from two photos prior basked in the evening light. That door you can see there would just about allow me in. So it's really not big, especially compared to the main pagoda.
