Aria - Shrine

In episode 5 of Aria the Natural they visit a shrine that seems to be based on Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto.



Image from Aria the Natural Episode 5 - 11m15s


Lots of red torii gates of course.




Image from Aria the Natural Episode 5 - 11m22s


And fox statues.




Image from Aria the Natural Episode 5 - 02m37s


The statue that matches the one seen in the anime the most is located at the romon main gate in real life.




Image from Aria the Natural Episode 5 - 04m39s


There's supposedly more than 10000 red torii gates here.




Image from Aria the Natural Episode 5 - 04m51s


In a lot of places the gates are placed much more densely than what's shown in the show.




Image from Aria the Natural Episode 5 - 05m05s


Not as many tablets on the gakuzuka supporting struts here.




Image from Aria the Natural Episode 5 - 05m40s


On the reverse side of the gates you can see writing telling you who donated them.




Image from Aria the Natural Episode 5 - 06m42s


This is the Senbon Torii, the most famous part of the shrine, so there's lots of people stopping here.




I couldn't get a picture without anybody in it this time, but I had this picture from a previous time I visited this shrine because of Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha.




Image from Aria the Natural Episode 5 - 06m43s


This is the gehaiden worship hall.




Image from Aria the Natural Episode 5 - 06m26s


And finally a picture of one of the many fox altars.



No map since this is a famous tourist attraction.

This location was visited on 2019/04/15. The Senbon Torii picture without anybody in it is from 2014/04/09.

Non Non Biyori - Amano no Sato

A small village named Amano no Sato is shown in both seasons of Non Non Biyori, so I went to have a look. The closest train station is Kaseda Station where there's a bus that goes to Niutsuhime Shrine located in the village a few times a day, but it's easier to rent a car to get there like I did. Image from S1E2 - 12m23s Image from S2E7 - 11m59s This area in the western part of the village was shown in both seasons. Image from S1E1 - 12m49s Image from S1E12 - 21m09s View towards the south.
