Exploring kyoto by night 🌙

The Fushimi Inari shrine in Kyoto is free and open 24/7, so the perfect place for nighttime adventures! I had visited in the daytime before, but at night it is totally transformed. If you are visiting in the summer, it is also a lot cooler at night. It was amazing to see how the light changed as the sun went down, with a beautiful sunset painting golden colours on the gates and shrines then fading to a mystical dark night. I particularly loved photographing the beautiful striped patterns on the floor from light shining through the gates from the lanterns 🏮 This shrine is huge, with the Tori gates climbing all the way up the hill, so I would recommend wearing study shoes and being prepared for a few hours walking to see it properly and walk above the crowds. #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #passionpassport #celebratewithtrip #kyoto #kyototravel #japan #nightwalk
