Fushimi Inari Shrine


Welcome to the world famous Fushimi Inari shrine!

The photograph above is taken right outside the JR Inari station - the shrine is literally opposite the station! Perfect!

Fushimi Inari shrine is famous for its thousands of read torii gates (like the above) lining Mount Inari! There are estimates of over 10,000 gates in total, it's insane.

Cloudy Afternoon in Kyoto

Welcome to the first of my Kyoto posts! We visited Kyoto twice whilst staying in Osaka! 

It's only a 30 minute train from Osaka to Kyoto, covered by your JR Pass! You can hop the bullet train just down the road! Amazing!

And one thing to note: Japan's public transport system is incredible and so user friendly...except for Kyoto. It was incredibly difficult, but we'll come to that in due course.
