If you have plans to fly to Osaka, take a side trip to the neighboring city of Kyoto to see the legendary red torii gates and the fox statues that are symbolic according to Japanese folklore.

Actually, the path lined with gates is very long. If you want to walk to the end, it takes almost an hour and a half. For those who like to check in and take photos, you can just walk around the beginning area. It's quite a vibe, haha.

When you go up, you'll find a shrine and spots selling charming amulets and wooden plaques for writing wishes, featuring foxes.

Around the area, there are food stalls and restaurants lined up for you to try and fill up on.

The temple location is a bit far from Kyoto city center. If you're going to Nara, stopping by Fushimi Inari and then heading to Kyoto city is a recommended route.
