Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kyoto, Japan 🇯🇵

Fushimi Inari: aka “Just a quick look at the red pillars” and then “Why haven’t we finished walking up the mountain yet?” When I listed it on my trip, I thought it would be a cute place to walk around and relax, but it turned out to be like being forced to take an outdoor fitness class. But honestly… it was so worth it! I walked up while sweating like a little pilgrim whose soul had left his body at the thousand-year-old gate. Most people only walked halfway, but we didn’t give up. We fought, we suffered, we climbed all the way up, and the view from the top was amazing. I highly recommend it 10 out of 10. If you’re going, bring snacks, good shoes, and prepare yourself to experience unintentional spiritual awakening. #japan #traveljapan #fushimiinari
