Fushimi Inari Shrine

Sadly my Japan outfit posts come to a end, but I saved the best for last. My absolute favorite part of this trip was visiting all the temples and shrines in Kyoto. The coolest one was the Shinto Fushimi Inari Shrine where you can take a 2 hour walk through thousands of tori gates.

 Fun fact, my favorite book and movie, Memoirs of a Geisha, is set in Kyoto during WWII. So, going through the old city and experiencing the traditional culture was like having the story come alive. The city and temples were so beautiful I actually teared up multiple times.

I've been really missing Japan and traveling. I hope soon I can go on another trip like this soon. Japan gave me so many new experiences and opened my eyes to a completely different culture. I learned that I can appreciate and love something so different from what I'm used to.
