Muza-chan's Gate to Japan

The Echo Pond from Kyoto

Mon, March 25, 2013, by Muza-chan
The famous Fushimi Inari Taisha from Kyoto is located at the base of a mountain covered by smaller shrines connected with thousands of torii gates.

Towards the top of the mountain, there's a beautiful lake called Kumataka. But the lake is better known as the "echo pond" because of a beautiful legend: here, you must clap your hands over the water and pay attention from where the echo will come - this will be your lucky direction. Then, you should turn with your face towards that direction and make a wish...
