Both the temple and the park full of free-roaming deer are evocative. The Fushimi Inari is beautiful, especially as you go up where it's less crowded.

Very kind experienced guide.
Third tour with Graziella! What can I say... not a guide but a real travel companion! We and our children will miss you! It was nice and interesting to be able to talk to a nice and kind person like you, who lives in Japan every day. Thanks for everything! Who knows, maybe we'll see each other again on the next trip... we'll go take pictures on the Eva-01!
