Fushimi Inari Taisha
The tour took us to 3 places of interest with the tour guide giving brief introduction while on the bus journey. Each of the place shows different history and culture of Japan. The time at each location is only sufficient for a quick view of the temple. There are also large number of people as it is crowded on the weekend.
No interaction from tour guide at all, bus is full but no seat allocation so it gets nasty when a couple get on late & challenge for their previous seat
