Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I had 10 minutes to catch the only train in an hour going back to Yamagata. The station was 10 minutes away. But there was also Kurikawa Inari. I saw through the trees a hundred red torii. I ran around this shrine in about 5 minutes. My meories are a chaotic blur of running through torii after torii, some blood red in hue, others faded and withered into pale wooden skeletons. The torii were also different sizes. It seemed as though new torii had been put up to replaces older ones next to them, but the old ones had never been taken down, so that usually a dilpaitated learning torii had a younger partner to support it in its old age. The shrine had two main causeways running parallel to each other which converged up the hillside, which I thought quite interesting. The path to the honden then veered off and a final stairway led up to the main hall, clustered with torii. The pillars of the belfry were trees with the branches shaved and painted red, but one was large than the other three and much lumpier were the branches had been, so that it looked lopsided and deformed. What a weird and confusing deity must be fox-loving Inari.
