The deity Gondayu Okami is worshiped at this shinseki (the site of the former shrine where a deity remains). Behind it you have a breathtaking view of the city center of Kyoto and the area in the north.

The deity Gondayu Okami is worshiped at this Shinseki (place of the former shrine where a deity remains). Behind it offers a breathtaking view of the city center of Kyoto and the area in the north, close enough to touch.
This appears to be the area that was painted as the fifth of Inariyama's twelve views.

Kojingamine (Tanakasha Shinseki) is a small, quiet Shinto sub-shrine located roughly halfway up Mount Inari within the expansive Fushimi Inari Taisha complex in Kyoto.

Location: It is found along the winding mountain path lined with the famous vermilion Torii gates, well past the main Senbon Torii section.

Significance: The site is known as a shinseki (神蹟), meaning a "site of a former shrine where a deity remains." The deity worshipped here is Gondayu Okami.

Atmosphere: For many visitors who make the ascent, Kojingamine offers a tranquil break and a more secluded spiritual experience away from the heavy crowds at the mountain's base. It also offers a spot with good panoramic views of Kyoto city.
