Day 12:Part 1 Kyomizu Temple and Fushimi Inari- We made it to the top!

During the morning, it was raining pretty heavily, the group went to visit the  Kyomizu-Temple  in Kyoto where it had a great view over the city. 

Can you see the Kyoto Tower?

The name comes from its very clean, purifying water that is said to allow you to live longer if you drink it.

This is the Kiyomizu temple!  Behind the temple, there a big grave yard ( Eden took the pics)

After we ate the lunch at Nakau(なかう）   Fushimi Inari was a beautiful shrine .

Mt. Inari with a trail looping around the top. There are thousands of the traditional gates on the mountain, following the trail to the top.

We made it our goal to make it to the top of the mountain, which was 223 meters tall (731ft)!

By the way it takes one week to build the shrine
