520 |a This article provides an example of contemporary pilgrimage practices in Japan by focusing on the Inari pilgrimage on Inari Mountain in Fushimi, Kyoto. Inari Mountain provides the most popular venue for Inari pilgrimage, offering a multitude of Inari shrines and the opportunity to establish one's own pilgrimage path. After a brief survey of historical pilgrimage records on the mountain, this study focuses on two groups observed by the author, in order to illustrate how the pilgrimage is individualized, giving the pilgrims an opportunity to express their own personalized Inari beliefs. The individualization modeled by these Inari pilgrimages calls into question generalizations regarding the sense of "communitas" that is often identified with the liminality of the pilgrimage.
