Day 9: Thursday April 19





The Fushimi Inari Shrine










Fushimi Inari Shrine is an important Shinto shrine in southern Kyoto. It is famous for its thousands of vermilion torii gates.























We arrived in the Fushimi sake district, one of the sake brewing capitals of Japan.





We visited the Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum 



Though Japanese rice wine is often referred to as sake in English, sake in Japanese refers to alcohol in general. In Japan the preferred word for rice wine is Nihonshu.












Just a couple of souvenirs that you will see later. 





Indian in Japan.

Japanese trains are unbelievably clean.
