We visited Kyoto for three days at the beginning of November and I was determined to visit the Fushimi Inari Shrine and explore the winding paths through the Torii. To beat the crowds we arrived early in the morning to get a head start.

Instead of heading to Universal Studios in Osaka to get our Hogwarts fix, we chose to visit Warner Brothers Studios in Tokyo. Here they have full size sets including the Forbidden Forest, along with heaps of amazing and imersive scenes from the films - a truly magical experience without the lining up of a theme park.
