Buying miniature Tori Gates at Fushimi Inari
The miniature tori gates which can be seen as you walk around the shrines can be purchased at shops on the way (quite an unusual souvenir) - the small ones costing around 1050 yen. Some shops (like the one in the picture!) will refuse to sell the gates to tourists, saying that they are for prayer purposes only - there is a tea shop on the corner of the main cross road in the path you will come to on the walk (as you come up the steps to the view point it is on the right hand side - the one after the turning!) - they were very helpful when it came to buying gates.
