Today, we get up really early to beat the crowds to Fushimi Inari, Kyoto's beautiful gated mountain. But that's not the only thing we're doing today! There's a secret that is right next to this mountain, hidden beyond a bathroom...
THANKS FOR WATCHING!

Thousands of beautiful red tori gates line this mountain. You can donate money to have a tori gate placed on the mountain, as has been the tradition for hundreds of years. The main path has around 1,000 gates placed on it of various sizes. It takes a few hours to hike up and down the mountain, and there are numerous rest stops along the way - including the mountain's best viewpoint over Kyoto! Be prepared for a LOT of stairs if you do the full route.
Afterwards, you may wish to visit Fushimi Inari's hidden bamboo grove! We were thrilled to have the bamboo forest completely to ourselves (well, we shared it with a million mosquitoes). Since it was a breezy day, we were able to hear the sound of the bamboo trunks clicking against one another. The sound was truly glorious! We share exactly what path to follow to get to the secret bamboo grove (but shh, let's keep it our secret!).

Its super common for Japanese kids to go to Kyoto as a school trip destination (because of the rich history to learn) I myself went there when I was an elementary student 😊

This field trip is called " Shugaku Ryoko ( 修学旅行）" in Japanese, which is part of history education program for mostly Junior school students from outside of Kyoto prefectures. Depends on the school's location, not every school chooses Kyoto, but this histric city is the most popular destination. Usually three nights trip in Kyoto and Nara.

You can see Japanese kids in fields trip almost everywhere you go, anytime of the year. In the middle of the Japanese alps there were more school kids than tourists.

I've only ever been here in the evening when it was all dark with no one there. It was magical and kind of scary haha. Idk if you got to see one, but there's cats all over the place and they're super friendly. One even jumped on my lap

@TalesFromOurPocket Жыл бұрын

Dang, no cats jumped in our laps - that would have been fun! I've read that there's a risk of encountering wild animals (things less friendly than cats!). Have you run into anything at night??

Thank you for your wonderful video in Fushimi Inari taisha Shrine. I strongly recommend you to come there at night. In fact, I alwyas visit there, take pictures and make video of Fushimi inari taisha shrine at mid-night. It"s so beautiful. Have a nice trip in Japan. Thank you.

Want a staircase challenge?..there is staircase outside Kumamoto which has 3,333 steps..it's said to be the longest in Japan..As far as I know there is nothing at the top..except the satisfaction of completeing it...I will be in Kumamoto during my trip in Jan...But I don't think I'll have the time to take in the challenge..Just getting there and completeing the climb and getting back down and returning to Kumamoto will be a whole days outing and I am only gonna be in Kumamoto for a day..so...Because my trip is a last minute thing..I've had very little time to arrange anything...So it is somewhat a kind of cobbled together trip....As is I have only booked accomodation for the first 7 days!..which are in Tokyo...(But 3 different hotels)...and I leave on the 4th of Jan!..So I do not have long to sort the rest of my trip...I am hoping to head to Kagoshima (to see the volcano) after Tokyo, and head back through Kumamoto, Hiroshima, Osaka, Kyoto back to Tokyo to catch flight home.

I think when I get there I will complete the climb..It may be the only time I'll ever visit. And if I didn't complete the climb I would kick myself for not doing so..hate to look back and think...Why didn't I get to the top?
