In fact, they represent sacred and mysterious creatures endowed with a great intelligence and strange supernatural powers that they develop with age. Their main skill is to change shape taking human form (as they often appear in the form of a beautiful woman). Another power they are said to have is that of the Kitsunetsuki (\u72d0\u6191\u304d o \u72d0\u4ed8\u304d) or else, the ability to possess human beings. It was believed that a fox was able to enter the body of its victims, usually young women, through a nail or their chest, thus feeding on their vital energy living inside their bodies.<\/p>\n<p>Inari\u2019s kitsune are white, a color considered to be auspicious. They possess the power to ward off evil, and sometimes act as guardian spirits. In addition to protecting the shrines of Inari, they protect the locals by acting as a scarecrow against the evil nogitsune, fox spirits who are not in the service of Inari. Black foxes and nine-tailed foxes are also believed to bring good luck.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the foxes along the trails hold a key in their jaws that represents the key to the rice granary.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-66006 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.japanitalybridge.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/2018-feb21-Fushimi_Inari-05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.japanitalybridge.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/2018-feb21-Fushimi_Inari-05.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.japanitalybridge.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/2018-feb21-Fushimi_Inari-05-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.japanitalybridge.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/2018-feb21-Fushimi_Inari-05-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.japanitalybridge.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/2018-feb21-Fushimi_Inari-05-1200x803.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Photo Credits: <a href=\"http:\/\/regex.info\/blog\/2008-06-19\/841\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">regex.info<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Up to the Inari-yama<\/h3>\n<p>Reaching the top of the mountain takes about 2 or 3 hours, and along the way there are many smaller shrines with piles of miniature torii donated by visitors on lower budgets.
