There are over 4km of walking tracks, with about half covered in gates, which have been donated by businesses to help ensure prosperity. We didn't explore all of it yesterday, but I intend to go back.

Fushimi Inari
Fushimi Inari is a little gem very close to us that somehow we missed until yesterday. Usually, a Shinto shrine has a gate or torii, to mark the entrance to the shrine. Sometimes, there are two or three. However, this place has taken the gates to the point where they are far more exciting than the rather small and insignificant shrines.
