More on Kyoto
Ok. I’m biased. I’ve been to Kyoto before but I still love it. Fushimi Inari is literally my favorite place in Japan. It’s a shrine with all the tori gates donated by companies who have done well. We hiked to the very top of the mountain (I died but did it). Took us a lot longer than it was supposed to but I blame Ben for taking pictures not me for hiking so slowly lol.
We also saw the imperial palace (underwhelming) the golden shrine and the silver shrine (too many school children) and heian shrine which was so pretty! So lots of shrines. We got a shrine book as a souvenir and also lots of other things of course.
Lastly we hung out in Gion for drinks and chicken and it was delightful. Ben also got a new camera to play with.
