Jap Travel Post, Fushimi Inari Taisha

Fushimi Inari Taisha: Kyoto's Most Visited Shrine by Foreign ...
Kyoto's Fushimi Inari Taisha
Entrance Fee: Free
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Probably the most famous attraction in Kyoto and prolly the entire Japan,  if you buy a set of kyoto postcards this is prolly the 1st in the set, and if you go scroll down you fb friends list 5% of them prolly have this place as their dp background as well. "Influencers" who travel Japan will prolly come this place take some nice shots and post it with some random Jap phrases.
Japan has more than one thousand shrines that worship the Inari fox god and this is the HQ of all the Inari shrines. Famous for its beautiful 千本鳥居 (thousand tori gates) that covers the entire mountain behind the main Shrine.
------------------------------------------------------------------
I rly like this place 10/10, majestic main shrine with beautiful Shindo architecture, plus a entire mountain trail entirely lined with red tori gates, gr8 vibes and amazed by how well everything blend well with the beautiful nature. If you have energy shld definitely go climb the mountain and walk the entire mountain trail, very cooling and full of mini shrines at different part of the trail to surprise you, if you are lucky you can see some cats who dont give 2 shits about you. The main hall and the lower parts of the mountain trail is always flooded with tourists in the day taking 1 million photos/selfies, the higher part of the mountain have way less tourists and more enjoyable, not to mention u get some rly nice city view of Kyoto as well. So if you want nice photos you can either wait or climb to get rid of other annoying tourists. One thing I strongly recommend for 1st timer is come once in the day for nicer photos and 1 more time at night w frens (8pm maybe?), this entire place is open 24/7 and is super empty at night, on top of that all the lights are on the entire night, a night walk along the mountain trail rly puts ur mind at peace and let u enjoy/feel the place more. Also, come in the day 1st to set a benchmark so that when u visit at night you will tell yourself "holy shit coming at night is such a wise decision thanks to my wise fren".

Jap Travel Post, Kinkakuji

---------------------------------------------------------- Kinkakuji 金閣寺 (Kyoto) Entrance Fee: 400yen (1st time ok, subsequent time not worth) ---------------------------------------------------------- One of the most famous Buddhist temple in Kyoto, basically was bought by this Shogun in the 12th century who decided it was a fking good idea to coat it with gold, aft he died his son convert it to a temple. Tho in 1955 some suicidal monk burnt the actual temple to a crisp together with all the artifacts inside. The one we see today is mostly a replica (the owner coat it with even more gold to attract tourists lmao). ----------------------------------------------------------- Tho its one of the most famous attraction in Kyoto, its quite underwhelming imo. Because its full of fking Chinese tourists for some fking reason (maybe cos its Gold) totally ruin the experience. If the Chinese tourist at Kiyomizu is 20% then this place is 60%. On top of that, the location of the temple is rl...
