We took the bullet train to Kyoto for the day. The train is so fast, it goes 125 mph! We made it to Kyoto in about 2 hours. We all took a nice nap on the train, while Nico got some much deserved iPad time. After arriving in Kyoto, we took another train to get to Fushimi Inari Taisha. Fushimi Inari Taisha is the primary shrine dedicated to Kami Inari, a deity revered for its association with rice, fertility, agriculture, and prosperity. Kami Inari is frequently depicted with foxes as its messengers. The shrine is situated at the foot of the Inari mountain, which stands at an elevation of 233 meters above sea level. The mountain is home to numerous smaller shrines, each accessible by trails that wind their way up the mountain. These trails span a distance of about two and a half miles and take approximately 2 hours to complete. We made it up about a quarter of the way but decided to turn back because our limited time in Kyoto.</p>
