ATOP INARI

Wishing I could sketch this place. 

As previously stated, I hiked my way through the rows upon rows of red Tori gates to the top of Inari Mountain. It was a tad chilly, but the walk certainly warmed me up! At the top I sat down on my coat at one of the seats (ice, everywhere!) and admired the view. There was a lady sitting up there sketching the view across of Kyoto. She made me wish I had a sketch pad and pencils there too!

On the way back down the hill, along another path lined with Tori, I spotted some cats lounging in the fallen Autumn leaves. They were quite happy to just chill on the side of the path while tourists like me stopped to take photos. If you are ever in Kyoto, Fushimi Inari Taisha is definitely a must see. 

This scared me a little!
