The other 5 individuals didn't show so we got her to ourselves and could move quickly on such a warm day. The trail is awesome but it's definitely something you need a local to show you.

“It was a beautiful tour at Fushimi Inari. Our guide Hina taught us a lot about customs and culture, she also answered the many questions we asked her, thank you very much! The tour itself was great, we started in Tofukuji and from there we began with the route to the top of Mount Inari, ending at the famous Fushimi Inari temple. The road was quiet, we could enjoy nature in peace and at a good pace, very nice. She taught us how to behave in the temples, the meanings of the different amulets and so on...
