a big shout-out and thank you to Bell and Majo, whom were our guides on this evening at the Fushimi Inari shrine. the said shrine is totally different at night as compared to day. with much lesser crowd, we could take time to appreciate the shrine and absorb the information being shared by Bell throughout the whole walk. what is interesting that this tour brings us to d mid-half of the mountain and we got to appreciate family shrines and Buddhist shrines, other than the main shrine itself. we enjoyed ourselves. both Bell and Majo took the necessary care to make sure my family members are ok throughout the tour. once again, thank you Bell and Majo.
