We caught the train to Kyoto ourselves and walked the Tori gates at Fushimi- Inari

Keelung (Taipei), Taiwan

5 out of 5
We did an excursion- Taipei on your own which took us to Taipei and then we had 5 hours to ourselves when we caught the train to the local sights. We are now confident we could do this on our own next time.
