The Fushimi Inari Shrine lies south west of the center of Kyoto. It's most remarkable characteristic is lines of torii gates that run up and down the mountain where the shrine sits. You can walk through them, like a tunnel. Every once and awhile, they open up to lofty views of the city below, or tea houses or graveyards or alters.
Amanda and I walked almost the whole five kilometers. It was a beautiful days — one of the few warm ones I've experienced since I got here.
The best way to tell about this one is through photos.
Lesson learned: There's a little heaven in some shrines.
