Aria - Shrine

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

Lots of red torii gates of course.

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.

This is the gehaiden worship hall.

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.

Aria - Himeya Company

And finally there's Himeya Company which, unlike Orange Planet and Aria Company, is actually based on a real place in Venice.

To the right of the hotel is the Ponte del Vin bridge.

The bridge crosses the Rio del Vin canal.

From the bridge you can get pictures of the gondola entrance to the hotel.

This is inside the hotel lobby.

Glass roof above the lobby. Since I didn't stay at this hotel I didn't get any more pictures inside.




Image from Aria the Origination Episode 5 - 10m23s


Back outside again.

In front of the hotel is also this gondola stop.

Image from Aria the Animation Episode 11 - 14m18s


And a San Zaccaria water bus stop which makes getting certain pictures, like this panning shot, difficult.




Image from Aria the Origination Episode 12 - 04m27s


Another Himeya location is the place Himeya Rosen is based on, Ca' Nigra Lagoon Resort, which is located near Venezia Santa Lucia Station.




Image from Aria the Origination Episode 12 - 14m56s


No gondola entrance here though. I've marked a path from Hotel Danieli to this place in the map below.
