The view of Kyoto from the crossroads in Fushimi Inari-taisha. The top of the torii gates on the path leading up to the crossroads can also be seen peeking out from the trees.

   Of course, it was pretty crowded in Senbon Torii (千本鳥居) section, so I didn't bother too much with photos there. The crowd is supposed to thin out as we climb higher, so I bided my time.

   Partway up to the crossroads, we encountered a branching path, which led to a number of smaller shrines and a bamboo forest. There were a couple of crows there, and one of them went to chill in one of the shrines. It felt like the crow itself was a manifestation of a Shinto deity :btr_bocchi_pray:

   When we reached the crossroads, I thought we were quite a ways up the mountain. But it turns out we're still at the beginning :GWnonSataniaSpoopy:
