This was a bit of a workout. I don't know what others feel about it. But those many stairs are bound to leave you sore. I recommend coming with the best walking shoes you have. We visited it during the later part of the day which meant it was quite dark by the time we descended. A couple of view points along the way. Mostly. alotnof steps and prayer points. It's so famous that it draws in a large number of tourists. That is where planning the trip for later half helps. Then again it's going to be dark when you climb. #mytravelhacks #cherryblossom2024 #historicallandmarks #localguides #instatravel #kyototrip #japantrip
