The inscriptions on the tori gates at Fushimi Inari are the names of the people who sponsor that Tori. (Basically a donor wall, or a kind of advertising.)

[@ChewsToExplore]

Wow thanks for the insight!

Great video. Good topics and views. I recently returned to USA from Japan. I lived there for 2.5yrs and I've been to all the places you've shown. Great content to show people who've never experienced Japan. Just a tip. Next time try Nagoya and Fukuoka. 💪🏿🙏🏿 I know its a little more expensive but try the First Class seats on the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka. You pass Mt. Fuji. Amaxing views. Its so far but looks so close. 😂

[@ChewsToExplore]

Thank you so much for the kind words and support to our channel! Thanks for the recommendation. When we return we will do the trip differently and will absolutely enjoy the skinkansen

[@kathychung2162]

Was the otagi temple within walking distance from the main arashiyama area/bridge? Great video, thanks!

[@ChewsToExplore]

Thank you so much for the support to our channel. No it was far, we took the bus to get there. and we walked back around 50 minutes to get back to the main area. We loved the stroll but it was far

[@mxnkirxt]

Great content! We're planning our itinerary based on your trip. When is the next video coming? Excited!

[@ChewsToExplore]

Thank you so much for the support and kind words to our channel. We put a lot of effort into making these and are so happy that you got something from it. I hope you have an amazing trip! Expect a new one every weekend

Never flew before but wouod like to travel. Can u do a video how the process of taking a plane in us and international?

[@ChewsToExplore]

Great Idea I will try to put one together for you

[@sydneyexpert]

Wow, you covered some ground in one day. We did that over 3 days. Did you feel rushed? We probably could have gone a but quicker, but your pace seemed exhausting!

[@ChewsToExplore]

Thank you so much for the kind words and support to our channel! Glad you found the video useful to you! We are used to traveling this way. Haha but it can be tiring for sure.

Nice! When was this?

question: what drone do you use?

I use the dji mini 3 Pro

[@spark_6710]

I have visited Nara & deer park as a kid & almost got killed by one !! Lol. I wasn't paying attention to my back & kept feeding deer gathered around in front of me ,the one was behind my back got upset & tried jumping on me !!! LOLLOLLOL 😅😂

[@ChewsToExplore]

Haha dont let them et to you!

[@spark_6710]

@@ChewsToExplore Lol. That was really frightening as I was shorter than the deer ( standing tall w/ just two legs ) & about to jump / land on me or kick me !! 😅

[@psnFlashyGuy]

i heard that tourism is insane in kyoto right now. did it ruin the experience at all for you? I'm on the fence about how much time I want to spend there.

[@ChewsToExplore]

Thanks for the comment! Kyoto's magic is still there if you're patient with the crowds.It was my favorite part of the trip!

[@harwin8303]

are they strict with drones there?

[@ChewsToExplore]

We did not have an issue, just followed the signs
