Kyoto Trip-Day 2

On Sunday morning we woke up later than planned, so we started the day off around 10:00 a.m. We opened up the hotel room curtains and looked out at the beautiful view that we had.


First off for the day, we made our way south of Kyoto to Fushimi Inari Temple. It's famous for having more than 1000 red "torii." Torii are significant of temples in Japan. If you follow all the torii at Fushimi Inari, you'll end up climbing up Mount Inari...which we ended up doing. Once we arrived at the top, we were amazed at how far we'd come and understood why we were so out of breath!!!

A beautiful pond along the trek that was full of turtles.


Finally we reached the top. What an awesome view of Kyoto!


After Fushimi Inari we went to Kiyomizu Temple. This was the one of the buildings at the entrance.


This three-story pagoda was beautiful at night.


Here was the view from the top of Kiyomizu Temple.


These guys were so fun to see wheeling around people.
