After delaying our dream trip to Japan due to Covid, we finally made it to Kyoto. The morning of May 8th, we woke up early to make our way to the Fushimi Inari Shrine, one of our top bucket list destinations. We trekked our way up through hundreds of torii gates to see some incredible views. Of course, when we decided to go back down, we ended up going the wrong way that took us out of the shrine onto a random road. But we wanted to take some more pictures so we made our way back to the gates! After setting up a tripod to take some pictures of us in the middle of the tunnel of torii, Jon got down on one knee and proposed. Obviously, I began ugly crying while Jon held the most beautiful ring I've ever seen in shaking hands, but eventually I managed to get out a yes between sobs. We then spent the day in bliss exploring Kyoto and eating all the street foods we dreamt of and calling family from across the world to share the news.
