Unfortunately , his friend 's English was n't that good but with some effort we did manage to communicate a little XDD The whole area around the Inari Shrine is huge and looks awesome * _ _ _ * Unfortunately it also meant that we had to climb lots and lots of stairs in that intense heat and in the end I was so dead ! XDD But the view over the whole city was really worth it . When we came back I walked around Kyoto city some more but unfortunately it had gotten dark by that time and most of the other shrines and temples were closed already .
Question: What country may his friend be from ?
The answer to the above question:


Japan
