Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine

1h

Fushimi Inari Taisha is one of Kyoto’s most iconic and sacred Shinto shrines, serving as the head shrine of over 30,000 Inari shrines across Japan. Founded in the 8th century, it is dedicated to Inari, the deity of agriculture, prosperity, and business success. The shrine is best known for its breathtaking thousands of vermilion torii gates, which stretch like a tunnel up the slopes of the mountain behind the shrine. Each gate has been donated by worshippers as an offering, creating a surreal and spiritual atmosphere. Fox statues, believed to be messengers of the gods, are found throughout the grounds. While the shrine is a popular and vibrant destination during the day, it transforms at night into a place of deep tranquility and mystery, offering a hauntingly beautiful experience unlike any other in Kyoto.

Mt. Inariyama

1h

Rising behind the main hall of Fushimi Inari Taisha, Mount Inari stands at 233 meters and is considered sacred ground. The entire mountain is dotted with countless miniature shrines, stone lanterns, and thousands more torii gates winding along the trails in what is known as the “Oyama Meguri” pilgrimage route. Hiking the full loop takes about two hours and offers both spiritual insight and moments of quiet reflection. At night, Mount Inari becomes an ethereal realm. Dimly lit paths, the silhouettes of torii gates in the darkness, and the rustling of the forest all contribute to a deeply mystical ambiance. Reaching the summit reveals a panoramic view of Kyoto’s city lights, providing a peaceful and unforgettable conclusion to the journey.
