Day Six: Fushimi Inari Shrine, Katsura Rikyu, Arashiyama

We visited Fushimi Inari Shrine. Instead of just one torii as a gate, this shrine's hiking paths were almost tunnel-like because of all the torii, most of which had been sponsored by major corporations. We then visited Katsura Rikyu, a very famous imperial palace with extraordinary gardens. B&G then went to Arashiyama and walked around in a bamboo forest.
