[syndicate] Inari

[Patrick Lichty]

Alan,
I got lost in Fushimi Inari (Kyoto) in October 2002 with a case of 
pneumonia.  It was 45 degrees out, I only had a suit on.  A nice old lady at 
one of the shrine's many teahouses asked me to stay for the evening and have 
ea with her; I had to get back.  It was dusk, and I was over a mile back in 
the shrine complex, and the temperature was falling even more.  Knowing the 
place had no central heat, I knew I had to get back to the Park Kyoto Hotel 
or the night would be exquisitely excruciating.  In addition, I also know 
that the Kami were being stern with me, so it was best to be respectful and 
get out before the spirits all cam eout.

Until you get close to the main shrines, the endless corridors of torii are 
not lit. big fun.
