Last Day in Kyoto

Of course, we had to go to the Fushimi Inari (god of rice) Shrine, an important Shinto shrine. It has thousands of these torii gates; I believe they are all sponsored by somebody or some company or another. 

The fox is said to be Inari's messenger - there are many fox statues throughout.

We went there fairly early, travel tip given (as with the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest), to beat the crowds. The rest of the day, we went to the Nishiki Market and area around there. I don't seem to have many pictures. 

So many choices, so little time. Anno potato, matcha, chocolate, Hokkaido vanilla.

Yes, I did have a squid baby, Sorry not sorry,

And I chose black sesame. It was sooo good.
