I have lived in Japan 17 years, and the last time we came to Kyoto was in 2010. It was the most peaceful and relaxing trip I have ever been on and couldn’t wait to come back. Well my sister is in town and wanted to go to Fushimi-Inari……it was miserable!!!! Thousands of Chinese tourists in groups were there. Everyone was blocking the cars and the train tracks. We were with kids and people started shoving each other because the train gate would only go up for a short time between trains. It was really dangerous and unpleasant. We turned around and went back to our hotel. The popular sites are all really unpleasant!!
