That reflection of Kinkaku-ji in the pond is exactly as beautiful as every photo promises, we just stood there for a good twenty minutes.
Couples looking for something quieter than the usual Tokyo circuit should seriously consider this route, Hiroshima especially surprised us.
Holding hands through Fushimi Inari's endless gates at dusk was one of the most romantic things we've done as a couple.
Seeing that torii gate at Itsukushima rise from the tide made my wife tear up a little, not something we expected from a temple visit.
Starting at the Peace Memorial Park hit us harder than expected, my partner and I talked for hours that night about how it shifted the whole trip. Two days on, Dotonbori's lights felt like stepping into another world entirely.
Lovely route, but Kinkaku-ji was so packed we couldn't get near the railing for a photo of the two of us.
