The next morning we woke up fairly early and had breakfast and decided to make up for whatever sights we missed. Since this was the last full free day before our flight back home we hoped to catch the Kyoto Imperial Palace, Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine and then to shop at the Kyoto Handicraft Center. To travel more efficiently we caught a train to the Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine to see the famed red laquer Tori Gates and then north to the Palace. The Inari Shrine is dedicated to cats and is known for its hundred of beautiful Tori gates. Most shrines have a Tori gate, but none like this. After getting lost - literally - in this deceivingly huge area for an hour El decided we needed to catch the Palace before we missed the 2:00pm cut off time for the English speaking tour.
