Today, we walked and run from Fushimi Inari (伏見稲荷)to Ginkakuji(銀閣寺)which is about 24km. It is called Higashiyama Course and is the most bitten root.
Fushimi Inari is one of the most visited places in Kyoto by tourists. It is famous for thousands of Vermilion Torii Gates contributed by merchants and companies, as it is believed to be the God for good business and many people visit to wish their business well. Today, we wished us a good luck through 24 km of the trail.
We struggled the ups and downs of the landscape, while we were entertained by the beautiful sceneries and kind local people we met along the way.

Kyoto Incline, inclined railway, at Keage(蹴上) is made as a part of the canal construction in Meiji Era to pull water from Lake Biwa to the city. This railway was used to carry the boats on the steep slope. |

We happened to not encountered many people whichi is peculiar for the Golden Week. We enjoyed the trail and finally arrived to Ginkakuji area where is clouded with so many people.
