“Gochisosama deshita” is a phrase you can use to show your appreciation after a meal. It translates to “It was a feast.” And with that, I give you…more foodstuffs from Japan (oh, you thought I was done? THERE IS NO END to my Japan photos).

fushimi inari taisha

Fushimi Inari Taisha is the head shrine of Inari, deity of business, rice, and foxes. It’s a really cool place—there are thousands of torii, or gates, leading up from the main shrine to many other shrines dotting the mountainside (the mountain is also called Inari).

One of my favorite days in Kyoto was the one we spent biking through Arashiyama (Western Kyoto). I haven’t biked in years, but I managed not to crash into anyone, and the scenery was perfect to experience by bike.

beautiful kyoto
On 28, Oct 2010 | In Selected Posts, Travel & Life | By sue
Been having a blast in Kyoto w/ Tanya – the weather has been outstanding and the sights absolutely gorgeous. I’ve been going overboard with the picture-taking and sorting is going to take forever, but for now, some photos from my first day – Ninnaji Temple and Sanjusangen-do.
