Guide Masa was the best guide I encountered for all my trips in Japan. He’s very well prepared to every single detail. Fantastic with photography skills and even have a secret spot with lesser ppl to take photos.

The location is very convenient. It's only a 5-minute walk after getting off the bus. It's also very close to Kiyomizudera Temple. You can take photos along the way. It's a good experience. There are many styles in the store. I suggest you think about the general color you want to wear before going. It's easy to choose. We can help you put on the kimono. The staff are very professional, they are on three floors inside and three outside. I give you a good review. I hope you can maintain this kind of service.

Many options service is also very good, but the price on upgrade will be more expensive. A little more hairstyle options would be better

The overall feeling is very good, but when I choose a kimono, I can't see the overall effect and I feel very confused about the choice. It would be better if it can be worn on the upper body. I struggled for half an hour before choosing the clothes. This step is really not suitable for me. After changing, the overall feeling is still the same. Very good. I especially like the belt. The bow is very cute. After wearing it, I went to Kiyomizu Temple for a walk. Many people took pictures wearing kimonos. Our photographer Xiao W is still very professional. The various views are beautiful and worth the price.

To start with, both our hosts, Steven and Charles Are the sweetest and very helpful! They were very professional in creating a group in advance sharing maps, Best places to visit food to taste, etc for each location. even after the trip, they shared the best places to plan future trips in Japan. this is something I have never seen any other who is doing to make the stay so comfortable by sharing things. A big THANK YOU to both of you! the places were good, and I could enjoy the colours of fall. the time given at each location was very generous. I would definitely want to return to these places once again in future! Thank you for a wonderful day! 😇

Must-Visit Attractions in Fushimi-Inari Taisha

1. Fushimi Inari Taisha

Go on a 3.5-kilometer hike surrounded by 10,000 vibrant orange gates, creating a truly magical and unparalleled journey. As you make your way to the mountain peak, you'll encounter miniature shrines and peaceful hideaways, providing a tranquil escape from the bustling crowds.

2. Senbon Torii Gates

Take a walk through the iconic Senbon Torii Gates, a trail lined with thousands of donated gates inscribed with names, leading to the serene forest of Mount Inari. Each gate, donated by individuals and companies, displays the donor's name and donation date. Prices range from 400,000 yen for smaller gates to over one million yen for larger gates.

3. Main Hall and Romon Gate

You can stop by the grand Romon Gate at the shrine's entrance and show your respects through a small offering at the main hall (honden) where the respected deity is enshrined.

4. Yotsutsuji Intersection

After a 30-45 minute climb, the number of torii gates gradually decreases, and you will arrive at the Yotsutsuji intersection, approximately halfway up the mountain. Here, you can appreciate lovely views of Kyoto and choose between continuing on a circular route to the summit. Many hikers opt to turn back at this point since the trail offers limited variation beyond this intersection and there are fewer gates along the trail.

5. Fox statues

Foxes are commonly seen as the messengers of the Inari deity, with fox statues scattered throughout the shrine. According to Japanese lore, these foxes love to eat aburaage, a type of deep-fried tofu. Along the shrine's path, you can find tea stalls offering tasty inari sushi (rice-filled aburaage pockets) and kitsune udon (noodle soup with aburaage), both serving as delightful and satisfying light meal options.

6. Fushimi-Inari Taisha Restaurants

As you stroll towards the shrine, you'll find Japanese restaurants and souvenir shops lining the way. Keep an eye out for sweet shops offering tsujiura senbei, a fortune cookie variety thought to have originated in the 19th century. Interestingly, some assume that these treats could be the predecessors to the famous Chinese-American fortune cookie we know today.

Tips for Your Fushimi-Inari Taisha Visit

When is the best time to visit Fushimi-Inari Taisha?

How to go to Fushimi-Inari Taisha?

Located in southern Kyoto city, Fushimi Inari Taisha is easily accessed from Kyoto Station. You can take the JR Nara Line to Inari Station. The shrine is located opposite the Inari Station. Alternatively, take the Keihan Line to Fushimi Inari Station. It's about a 7-minute walk from there.

How long does it take to walk up Fushimi Inari?
