Fushimi Inari Taisha
No. 7 of Best Things to Do in Kansai Region

Fushimi Inari Taisha

4.7/5

Fushimi Inari Taisha is located at the western foot of Mount Inari in southern Kyoto and serves as the head shrine of all Inari shrines across Japan. According to legend, in 711 AD, the deity Inari, who governs bountiful harvests and prosperous commerce, was enshrined here, and the shrine has thrived with worshippers for centuries. Its signature view is the vermilion "Senbon Torii," a seemingly endless tunnel of torii gates stretching up the mountain behind the main hall. This iconic scene is not only one of Kyoto's most representative images but also widely recognized due to the famous scene in the movie "Memoirs of a Geisha," where a young girl runs through the torii gate tunnel. A short walk east from JR Inari Station brings you to the entrance. Passing through the towering vermilion torii gate and proceeding along the main approach, you'll encounter the romon gate, said to have been donated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1589 to pray for his mother's recovery. Beyond it lie the main hall and other principal structures. Stone fox statues are ubiquitous throughout the shrine, as foxes are considered messengers of the rice god Inari, often depicted holding keys or rice ears in their mouths. Before worshiping, visitors can purify their hands at the temizuya beside the main hall following the illustrated instructions, then clap their hands to pray at the main hall - prayers here often relate to business prosperity and financial fortune. Drawing omikuji fortunes and writing ema votive tablets are common practices; fox-faced ema can be personally decorated with expressions, while miniature torii-shaped ema are equally charming. Fox-shaped omamori amulets make popular souvenirs. Go around to the back of the main hall to find the entrance to the Senbon Torii. Hundreds upon hundreds of torii gates line the path all the way to the summit of Mt. Inari, with weathered, faded gates densely interwoven with bright vermilion ones. When sunlight filters through the gaps, the scene is particularly spectacular, making it a popular spot for photography enthusiasts. Each torii gate was donated by an individual or company, with the donor's name and date inscribed on the back. The path up the mountain is not a straight line; it includes both wide passages that seem to stretch on forever and smaller, parallel paths. Rest areas and sacred sites are scattered along the way, and most travelers come specifically for this mountain trail. After walking for about half an hour, the torii gates gradually become sparse. Upon reaching the Yotsutsuji intersection halfway up the mountain, you can overlook the Kyoto cityscape. Many people also make a special trip up the mountain at night to see the night view. Many travelers turn back here, but if you persist to the summit, the mountain path forms a loop. Several small shrines are distributed around the summit area, and a round-trip generally takes two to three hours, which is also equivalent to experiencing a traditional "Oyama Meguri" (mountain pilgrimage).Kyoto · 35.3 km from Koka

This art museum designed by Master I.M. Pei is, at least for now, the most beautiful art museum I have ever visited. The harmony between architecture and nature, between man and nature, and between man and architecture is so great. I highly recommend it.

Fushimi Inari Taisha was a magical place. So beautiful for pictures. We went early evening before it got dark and it was perfect as not too many people. Highly recommended in Kyoto.

My Perfect Kyoto One-Day Walk (Tested & No Crowds!)*> 7:15am Start at Fushimi Inari Taisha! Go early, the 1000 Torii gates are empty and the light is magical for photos. Hike only to the middle, view is already amazing.> 9:30am train to Kiyomizu-dera, walk down Sannenzaka & Ninenzaka - super photogenic streets, rent a kimono here! > 12pm Hanamikoji & Yasaka Shrine in Gion, you might spot a Geisha!> 1pm Lunch at Nishiki Market - must try Tamagoyaki and pickled snacks.> 4pm End at Kamogawa River for sunset, locals sit by the river, very relaxing.> Tip: Buy JR 7-day pass, save a lot! I booked all tickets via http://Trip.com, easy QR entry.

Overall experience was great. There are gallery to view the F1 cars. There are some rides for adults to enjoy. We manage to watch some races on that day but we didn't manage to book and try the circuit challenge due to that. There a few souvenirs shops and it is extensive. We manage to buy some items and food souvenior as part of suzuka.
