    Love this place, the Inari just on the edge of the sea, the massive cave and the end of the cave were mesmerizing and unforgettable moments.

    All the places in the itinerary were worth visiting, especially Motonosumi Inari Taisha. The pace was just right too. Not hurried. Our guide, Emily, gave clear instructions and good information. Great guide.
