We don't have time to visit every single landmarks in Kyoto so we asked around and read online reviews and chose the places we ought to go and Fushimi Inari made the cut.
We then hike way up to avoid the crowd.
We were surprised to see bamboo forest on the top of the hill. If we've known this earlier we won't go to the crowded Arashimaya Bamboo Forest.

Afterward, we got lunch at the food stalls at the front of the shrine. My friends told me one thing we need not to worry when visiting big cities in Japan is food. We can always find vending machine or food stalls at the tourist places.
