Kyoto is one of Japan’s most culturally rich cities. Most Famous for Fushimi Inari, the Ten Thousand vermillion hued Torii (gates) which is a shrine dedicated to Inari, an ancient wise man who is claimed the ‘Patron of Business’. Locals and tourists swarm these gates daily in duty & honour. (also for the great photos!)

Another of Kyoto’s iconic and serene spots is Kinkaku-ji, which is a tranquil golden temple which sits in the heart of a beautiful zen garden.

Tip: To get the best pictures try to reach Fushimi Inari by Sunrise which will give you enough time to climb up and capture the best angles without disturbance.
