I've been building up this blog for over two months now and I never had a chance to finish it up.  I don't know if I am busy with being engaged from planning the wedding to travelling to some part of the globe to visit family.  But I had to revisit my pictures of Japan as I never  get enough of it and push myself to finish this blog.

Fushimi Inari Taisha is a Shinto shrine which is known for its thousands of vermilion orange torii gates.  These torii gates are donations by individuals and companies in which you can find the donator's name and date of the donation inscribed on each of the torii.  The cost of each gate is 400,000 Ye
