Tanuki


This picture was taken in a station of Torokko romantic train in Sagano (North of Arashiyama). I would love to ride this train all the way from Arashiyama to Kameoka, its one of my must do things while in Kyoto! (Just missing company... :)
Personally I like the little animals statues (in english can be translated as racoon dog). They are found not only in the mountains, but most commonly outside of shops, guess to bring good fortune (although I'm not sure).
For more information....you know where....
