Fushimi Inari Taisha
Himeji castle
When I moved to Boston in the fifth grade my older cousin was obsessed with anime.
I´ve seen Kyoto in anime and it always looked so beautiful so I started watching youtube videos of people visiting and seeing shrines and cherry blossom trees. Trying out so many kinds of food. It's such a beautiful coulter and the people respect each other and their elders. Everyone is so nice and the food is always amsing.
Kyoto is known to be the mother of all shrines. Fushimi Inari Taisha is one of the most well known shrines in Kyoto. According to nippon.com about 2.7 million people or ¨pilgrims¨ visit this shrine a year.
One of the most popular foods in kyoto according to travel.gaijinpot.com is Yudofu (Boiled tofu.) Yudofu is made of tofu, water, kelp and a sauce that is made of rice vinegar, soy sauce, and lemon juice . topped with green onion and japanese hot pepper mx.
According to lillagreen.at ¨Kyoto has MORE than 1650 temples, 400 shinto shinto shrines,800 shrines, a castle and 3 palaces.¨There is also a shrine of the name Shimogamo shrine which is 1337 years old.
Remember to be respectful at all the shrines, temples and other places you viste. To you this is a silly vacation but to the people that live there this is their home and their culture. Thank you to the people at lillagreen.at, nippon.com, travel.gaijinpot.com, and japanesecooking101 on youtube for your help with this.
Set your sights on a visit to the amazing city of Kyoto, and make your vision a reality by working hard to get there some day!
Wow, I didn't know that there was a shrine that is 1337. Interesting. Nice Job!
