Leave Nothing Behind

🧡 Final day in Kyoto, visiting Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine and then heading out of the crowds and up the longest cable car in the country to Mount Hiei and its gardens 🌸

🍑 Get Naked!

At our last hotel we tried a traditional Japanese Onsen; a public bath which uses hot, geothermic spring water rich in minerals.

Bathers remain naked and must thoroughly wash before entering. Tattoos are forbidden and no swimwear is permitted. Splashing and swimming are prohibited and hair must not touch the water. Bathing is for recuperation and relaxation.

To say we were outside of our comfort zone was an understatement, but hey, we'll never see these people again . . . right?
