Guy you responded to here. I didn't know that bus was bookable online, that's good advice and I'll remember it for next time.
What's with the earmuffs, though? I don't understand. But then, the only time I went up there was one afternoon after all the tourists had gone home, so it was pretty much empty.
(Oh, it's also worth mentioning for anyone else - when I say 'tourists', I mean 'Japanese tourists'. We did see two Americans while we were there, but they were seasoned travellers and I think that was kind of a one-off.)
In unashamedly weeaboo fashion, my small party of two walked around for a few hours on one day dressed up as the characters. (I was Mr. Delicious because I'm FAT, she was Mion.) Most people either just didn't get it, didn't notice, or didn't care. One or two of the younger-looking tourists gave us knowing nods or grins, and we did see a Tomitake in the distance, but lost him before we could catch up. Perhaps somewhat weirdly, an old man at the tourist information counter seemed to understand, and was laughing, grinning and waving to us.
So yeah, I guess there are people there who know the show and understand that as the context, but the vast majority of people are just there because it's fucking beautiful, and I know that's certainly what I'll remember about the place. I want there because of the connection, but fell in love with it for less shameful reasons.
