The next morning we woke up as early as we could manage and hopped on a bus towards Fushimi Inari-taisha, which if you've ever seen pictures of Kyoto, may be what you've seen. When we arrived it was as crowded as I expected it would be, but compared to places like Asakusa in Tokyo that I've visited,…
A while back I made a post called "Streets of Japan: Tokyo," which you can check out HERE if you'd like. Taking picture of streets while I travel and Japan are two things that I happen to love, and so these posts are always fun for me. Last weekend my sister and I went on…

(I have so many pictures from this trip that instead of doing a post for each day I was there, I'm going to do one for each place we visited. Because otherwise these posts will get way to long and photo heavy.) Local Breakfast and The Pinnacle at Duxton I woke up on…
