Regardless, the shrine is a beautiful place with walks through up to 10,000 of these gates all donated by businesses looking for good fortune. Apparently around 4k of winding paths through these gates and shrines and a view from the top of the mountain of Kyoto but Ian and I took a wrong turn. Although we had reach somewhere close to the top as we started walking down steps again rather than up we somehow ended up off the main track and walking through the wooded hillside in a different direction.
