★Kyoto ”Hushimi Inari grand shrine" "伏見稲荷大社"★②
Actually, I don't know this place until I arrived here.
"Hushimi Inari grand shrine 伏見稲荷大社" was the main hall is situated at the foot of the mountain and the shrine precinct is consisted of the entire mountain.
There are mountain paths and I saw few of them a while ago.
It is behind of a beautiful worship hall, and this mountain path is call'd "Sandou(road approaching a shrine)""参道".
I guss there is "Goshintai(object of worship housed in a shito shrine and bilieved to contain the spirit of a deity)""御神体" in the mountaintop.
'note'
In shinto, "Shintai" (神体 body of the "Kami""detiy""神"), or Go-Shintai(御神体 sacred body of the Kami) when the honorific prefix Go-is used, are physical object worshiped at or near Shinto shrines as repositories in whith spirits or Kami reside.
Shintai used in shrine shinto(Jinja shinto) can be also called "Mitamashiro" "御霊代"(spirit replacement substitute)
In spirit of what their name may suggest, "Shintai" are not themselves part of kami, but rather just temporary reposistories which make them accessible to human being worship. "Shintai" are also of "Yorishiro""依代""憑代" that is objects by their very nature capable of attracting kami.
'souce of quote wikipedia'
I think at the top of the mountain there is a very important thing existing.
It is interesting.
I will try to go to the mountaintop.( ̄▽ ̄) ニヤ

Torii lining path.
By the way, why is it there are so many Torii?
When I look at outside,it is like this.
At this point path forks two.
I chose right path.
This photo is dark.
Because I took this photo when I will already left the place.
Either path read to the same spot in the end.
