Yūtoku Inari Shrine(2)

3️⃣ Omamori and Fortune-Telling Services After passing through the main gate, on the side of the Kagura Hall, there is a window staffed by shrine maidens selling omamori (protective amulets) and fortune-telling services. 🎢🌟 I rushed over to buy some, only to realize I had left my wallet in the car. Ahhhh, I was so used to electronic payments back home! I had no choice but to continue sightseeing without any money. 🤣 4️⃣ Main Hall The main hall is built into the mountainside. It's just a short climb up a few flights of stairs—about three or four stories—and you'll quickly reach the main hall. 🌸🍃 Here, the "Three Inari Deities" are enshrined: Uka-no-mitama-no-ōkami, Ōmiya-no-ōkami, and Sarutahiko-no-ōkami. 🎢🌟These deities cover all aspects of life, from food and clothing to shelter. Good news for the less energetic: For 300 yen, you can take an all-day, unlimited-use elevator. 🌸🍃 The elevator is perfectly integrated into the architecture on the right side of the mountain. With your ticket, you'll also receive a special elevator-only fortune (omikuji). 🎢🌟 For collectors, it's like getting an elevator pass with a bonus fortune! 🎫 5️⃣ Inner Sanctuary and Summit Climb From the main hall, head down the mountain and turn right. To reach the Inner Sanctuary and the summit for a panoramic view, take the path on the left. 🌸🍃 The journey up is lined with endless rows of torii gates. It's about a 300-meter climb to the top, which takes around 20 to 30 minutes. 🎢🌟It requires a bit of stamina, but the effort is worth it. When I reached the summit, the sun was about to set. From the peak, I was treated to a breathtaking view of Kashima City and the Ariake Sea in the last rays of twilight. 🌇 🌸🍃 Yay, time for a selfie! 📸 #JapanSaga 🌿#YutokuInari Shrine 🏛️
