Giotto is a very special place it’s as historic as it is beautiful, and when you’re here let’s see if I can break down a few the best things to do while you’re here first things first the most important advice I can give is to wake up as early as possible Hey my friend it is 5:45 a.m. during giotto hours of 5:00 a.m. and 9:00 am are the best times when all tourists are sleeping rent a bike, and head out of the city towards Arashi amma for our first stop of the day the bamboo fork oh wow you don’t have much time here before people start showing up. So enjoy the space where you can take a few deep breaths, and then jump back on the bike grab a quick breakfast at the 7-eleven or Family Mart, and then goes straight to the fushimi inari shrine if you’re not there by 7:00 a.m. do it another day if you do get there early enough it’s one of the most peaceful places you’ll ever visit follow the thousands of bright orange torii gates up mountain adi things just don’t dust most tourists only make it up to the viewpoint. But the real beauty of this place hides higher of the mountain it’s a labyrinth of hidden shrine symbolic figurines, and its seemingly never-ending pathways to spiritual enlightenment what you don’t often get to see via these these quintessential Kyoto photos on Instagram is the fact that these arches these famous stories they lead to a beautiful mountaintop park or a shrine I should say, and it is absolutely stunning, and huge, and I guess just like anything on Instagram you only get to see a small portion of the reality that is the place.
