Sightseeing spots in Kansai area

Here are my recommendations in Kainsai area.  I'm from Nara, so the best is visiting the Golden Buddha at the day of the festival in August.  It's fantastic, and I used to go almost every year when I was in Nara.  I like Inari-shrine, too.

Inari-shrine (pronounce "E-nali"), worshipping a god of fox
