Is Kyoto Overrated? 🇯🇵

Our travels in Kyoto continue as we begin the day at the Imperial Palace, the former palace of the Emperor of Japan before the capital city moved to Tokyo following the Meiji Restoration in 1869. We explore the many grand wooden buildings built out of the incredibly strong cypress tree before venturing through the Emperor's beautiful Japanese water garden. After a short pit stop in a Japanese tea room we cycle Kotobike's along the river to the legendary Fushimi Inari Shrine, world famous for its hundreds of torii gates. Fuelled up on sushi, we walk through the many gates to the top of the mountain which appears at the end of a dark forest path.
