Outside the famous Torii gates at the Inari Fushimi shrine, you can find amazing street food!
Michelle and I had a ton of fun trying all sorts of Japanese street cuisine and seeing what the vendors had to offer.
Some of the food we tried:
- Bacon skewers
- Fried cheese rolls
- Lo mein noodles with fish flakes
- Unique tofu dishes
- Japanese sweet cakes

The bacon skewers
Notice the thickness of the bacon. These things were divine.
Japanese sweet cakes
We found these most delicious sweet cakes filled with the options of custard or sweet beans. Both options were delectable.
Sweet bean paste can be found in many Asian desserts. They even had sweet bean flavored ice cream, which was actually very good.
The Torii gates 鳥居 at Inari Fushimi
The Inari Fushimi shrine in Kyoto, Japan has over 10,000 Torii gates.
Typically a Torii gate signifies the entrance to a sacred shrine in the Japanese Shinto religion, although they can also be found at Buddhist temples.
At Inari Fushimi each gate has been donated by an organization to pay tribute and give thanks for their prosperity and also good fortune in the future.
The shrine was truly a sight to see. Some of the gates were built as early as 711 A.D. and the trail of gates spans four kilometers.
Michelle and I took a month to travel across Japan and China this past May. It was epic! Follow me @slickwilly and Michelle @curiouser for posts about our adventures!
