Thought I'd try a castle for a change. It was hard to get a real feel for the place when doing the circuit with millions of schoolchildren and other tour parties. But those bold warriors who tried to sneak into the castle certainly had their work cut out for them with "nightingale" floors squeaking if they did manage to breach the defences.

Fushimi Inari Temple
Fushimi Inari Temple really was just five minutes away by local JR Nara line train. Didn't ride many local trains but this was definitely the most efficient way to get there. It looked just like the pictures I'd seen and I even manage to eat dinner from the street stalls outside.

| Note the offering. It's a shrine giving thanks for rice, hence sake. |
