Fushimi Inari-taisha - Kyoto

Visit Fushimi Inari-taisha, one of Kyoto's most iconic and spiritual sites. This Shinto shrine is world famous for its thousands of bright red torii gates that combine to form an impressive path against the forested slopes of Mount Inari. As you walk through the gates, the atmosphere changes from lively to increasingly tranquil, allowing you to experience Kyoto from a completely different angle.

You can decide how far you hike up the mountain, with smaller shrines, viewpoints and quiet spots to take a break along the way. Whether you take a short hike or follow the full route, Fushimi Inari-taisha offers a unique combination of nature, culture and symbolism not to be missed during your visit to Kyoto.
