Fushimi Inari

We arrived in Kyoto kinda late in the afternoon. We checked in in our Guest house then planned to look around. We missed the right bus from Kyoto station which sucks because the next schedule is after an hour. That Bus no. 5 is tricky. We got the wrong bus 5 because it should be Bus 5 South, there should be a Kanji (南5). We still push through to going to the mountain. Chast asked a tourist where are the torii. I did not know what she was looking for because I believe we have passed several of those along the way. We went home but as the shops close, we were lucky enough to hit this store selling his last two remaining serving of takoyaki for 200Yen.

Clearance Sale!

The next day, we went back, this time by train, which is faster way to travel. The place should be gorgeous. She said she knew the place from the movie adaptation of Memoirs of a Geisha. Then I saw what the fuzz with the torii is about.

It is beautiful. It is a shrine so people come up to pray. We were just there as tourists. We even saw an old lady taking his time one step at a time. That’s faith and determination.

I haven’t been hiking for a very long time so this experience gives a little fulfilment on my legs’ craving for walking uphill. The weather was very suitable. We even ate ice cream on one of the station on our way back.

This is the route we took going back

¥‎200 ice cream. Soya flavor

The ice cream is delicious. We just don't picture that good. We were tired haha
