Muza-chan's Gate to Japan

Walking through thousands of Torii

Sat, August 25, 2012, by Muza-chan
Now, that I arrived in Japan for the 8th time in 6 consecutive years, a friend asked me if, after visiting so many shrines and temples, if I ever had a truly spiritual experience...
Well, besides the many religious festivals - matsuri - to which I had the chance to participate, each with its unique memories, I think I experienced in Japan a few strong, spiritual moments, which impressed me deeply, both visually and emotionally. One I strongly remember now was an eerily quiet afternoon, when I visited the thousands of torii from the Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto...
