【Luck】 The Fushimi-Inari Taisha Shrine enshrined at the western foot of Mt. Inari at the southern tip of Kyoto's Higashiyama Sanju-Roppo (36 mountain range) is the head shrine of the 30,000 Inari-sha shrines nationwide. It has been a place of wide worship for the guardian god of abundant crops, businesses, prosperity, and family safety since the Inari Okami (god of harvest) was housed on Mt. Inari in the 4th year (711) of Hatsu-uma (the first day of the horse) in February during the Wado era.
【The symbol is a fox】 The fox is the Inari Okami's (god of harvest) servant. A fox it is, but it is not the one that lives in the fields.

Jishu jinja Shrine is the oldest shrine in Kyoto for Gods of Love and relationship (En-musubi). Those gods have been centres of belief since ancient times. Today the shrine attracts visitors not just from Japan, but from all around the World - and is especially popular with those seeking fulfilment through new or renewed relationships. Jishu jinja Shrine's history is older than the formation of Japan itself, and has its roots in an era about which little is known. The inner shrine, and the smaller shrines within the site are each dedicated to gods from Japan's early shinto religion.

古き良き時代に栄えたロマンが蘇るノスタルジーあふれる喫茶店で、コーヒー通を唸らせる味わいです。木屋町の一本西の細い通りを南に歩けば、スグ右手に見えてきます。チェーンのコーヒーがダメという欧米人の指名も多いです。It is a nostalgic coffee shop where the romantes flourished in the good old days revive, it is the taste that makes the coffee passage groan. If you walk south of a thin street in the west of Kiya-machi, you will see it on your right hand side. There are many nominations of Westerners that the coffee of the chain is useless.
