Yep, that is exactly what they do See, in Japan it's customary to take off shoes when you enter a house, a temple, or in fact, a castle. You either have to carry the shoes in a bag or leave them on shelves outside before you can enter. So you will be inside a castle in your sock feet or bare feet. And going up means steep steps...on a smooth wooden floor The steps at Osaka and Hiroshima weren't so bad, being that they were rebuilt castles, but the ones at Himeji and especially at Hikone were quite steep...and sometimes you had to duck to avoid hitting your head on low beams. Fluttsi was therefore better off inside my bag during these adventures...@jinxxy - I wish it had been a holiday! I was there for research fieldwork, so there was some library time and much photographing of warrior sites/graves/imperial graves as well. I actually do have a couple of pictures of Fluttsi at warrior/imperial graves, so I guess she learned something about mediaeval Japanese society as well...But I think ponies make great travel companions I haven't posted any of the pictures from Kyoto yet. I was there the most time so most of my Fluttsi pictures are from Kyoto, but I don't want to explode this thread.
Imperial Grave Bingo sounds like a great way to do a cross-country (or at least, cross-capitals) trek.
