WHAT YOU VISIT
Motonosumi Inari Shrine
Perched atop dramatic cliffs overlooking the Sea of Japan is a row of red 123 vermilion torii gates that wind down the bluff face leading to the shrine. Built in 1955 by divine decree by a man who had a vision of a white fox, it's believed that if you walk through the 100-meter-long path (328-foot-long), and drop a coin in the offertory box, it'll bring good luck in love, business, travel, pregnancy and fishing.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
