After resting for a bit at the crossroads, we continued our way up the mountain, starting with the right path.

Sure enough, I had a few opportunities to take a picture of the torii gates without anyone in it. At this point, the crowd has thinned out considerably, and it became a pretty pleasant hike.

Along the way, I spotted some funky looking caterpillars that are covered in spikes on the torii gates. It's also sad to see some of the torii gates up here with severe damage (though I think this damage is due to the elements).

There were also vending machines along the way, which made us wonder... how do they get the drinks up here?!
