Kyoto | Fushimi Inari Taisha is more than just Torii

⛩️ Fushimi Inari Taisha is a treasure of Kyoto, a mysterious place that combines history, religion, and natural beauty, with a thousand years of accumulation🦊🌟 The most famous feature of Fushimi Inari Taisha is the hundreds and thousands of Torii (bird ducks)! As far as the eye can see, this is the deepest impression Japan has given me.🦊🍁 These vermilion Torii are connected into a mysterious passage leading to the shrine at the top of the mountain. Countless Torii are arranged on the shady path, as if leading to another world, it is a dream background for photography enthusiasts!📸🌳 The light and shadow cast by the sun on the Torii are absolutely beautiful. In addition to admiring and visiting the Torii, this is also a place of spirituality. Fushimi Inari Taisha is mainly dedicated to the Inari Okami, with harvest, business prosperity, and protection as the center of faith.🌾 Visitors can worship and draw lots here, praying for good luck and smoothness in the coming year.🦊 It is said that, starting from the Edo period in Japan, people make wishes here. If their wishes come true, they will build a Torii here to thank the gods. Over time, it has formed the current scale. Along the way, you will see tourists wearing Torii-shaped pendants and fox masks, which are very characteristic souvenirs! In addition to the shrine itself, the natural scenery around Fushimi Inari Taisha is also breathtaking!🌿🏞️ At the top of the mountain, you can overlook the entire Kyoto city area, the distant mountains and rivers and the nearby bamboo forests, forming a beautiful picture. Especially in autumn, the red of the maple leaves and the vermilion of the Torii complement each other, it should be even more beautiful🍁🍂 If you want to climb the mountain, it's best to get up early, with fewer people, and it takes one to two hours to reach the top. I'm not a mountaineering enthusiast, so I won't join in the fun. If you are just visiting and touring, you can walk along the road on the right to the intersection and turn back directly from the next road. In this way, you can take a picture of the whole shrine only with your feeling. Under the contrast of many Torii, there is a kind of illusion of time reversal and shuttle through a thousand years. Recommend a special soldier route in Kyoto: finish Fushimi Inari in the morning, go to Kiyomizu Temple➡️Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka➡️Yasaka Shrine➡️Hanami Lane➡️Kamo River (these itineraries are arranged in one day, and you probably won't be able to get up the next day)

⛩️⛩️Headquarter of 30 thousands shrines ⛩️⛩️

#2024wish Fushimi Inari Taisha has been called as the shrine closest to the Japanese life. Searching the information online, It is said that there are 30000 Inari shrines across Japan but this 1 that located in Kyoto will be the headquarters among all of it. All around the year, there are also a lot of sacrifices and activities will be carrying out and if you would like witness it, do remember to check on their official website for the exact date of the celebration. Tips: - if you want to take the picture thousands of Toriiii without other people to photo boom you, highly recommend to visit the place in the early morning like 6 am - 7 am. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In 2024, I would like to travel to Perth, Australia.

Hiking with awesome view

Fushimi Inari 68 Fukakusa Yabunouchicho, Fushimi Ward, Kyoto, 612-0882, Japan One of places to visit when in kyoto. This place require lots of walking and climbing. Definitely good for burning some calories. There were many shrines and alot of cats around the area. The view from above was amazing. I didn't manage to get to the top which upset me. I complete at least half of the climb and it was getting dark. I went around 4pm and the bottom of the area was crowded but as I go along the trail, I spent quite some time alone. Managed to get some nice shots without people. I left my phone charging cable in the hotel and my phone was left with less than 15 percent battery. At that point I had to give up the hike because there was still quite a long way to go. There was people coming down when I reached the mid point and I asked one of the tourist how far more is there to the top. They told me if I can go at a fast pace, it will take 40 mins to the top. I decided not to continue. It was a good experience and quite a challenging climb. Would recommend to do this during days where the weather is cooling. Things to bring: A phone with gps. Extra portable charger and don't forget the cable. Water, Mosquito patch, Shoe #wheretogo

Beautiful temple worth the hike

Fushimi Inari Taisha is part of our Kyoto’s highlight. This temple has been featured in many Japan’s photos as the iconic Japan culture. Finally, we made our way here on a beautiful day. The walk up the mountain is gentle. However, it can get very crowded. So do come early before the crowd arrives. Along the way, you will be treated with beautiful Tori gates and gorgeous view of Kyoto at the summit. #citywalk #kyoto #Japan

A driving holiday in and around Kansai

Finally back to 🇯🇵 after three years of pandemic. It’s as beautiful as I remember it. Took the 🚅 from Tokyo to Kyoto, having a delicious 🍱 lunch aboard. in Kyoto, visited Fushimi Inari, the shrine of 10,000 ⛩️. Rented a 🚙 and drove to Nara, to see the beautiful tame 🦌 roaming Nara Park. Then drove to our final stop, Kobe, a beautiful city by the 🌊, and sampled their famous Kobe 🥩. Arigato gozaimasu 🙏🏻 and we’ll be back next year!

Kyoto | the most iconic spot that you can’t miss with your kimono😍

Fushimi Inari is such an icon of Kyoto recently that everyone must visit when travelling to this charming city and of course it has been one of the major highlights of my trip⛩️ We decided to dress in Kimono to come to this famous spot from a rental nearby and it’s the best decision! All the photos are super beautiful here and you will easily spend hours walking around and taking photos! When you follow the path to head back down, there is also a japanese tea shop where you can chill and enjoy their authentic drinks. I highly recommend it to you guys! It’s very famous to capture the thousands of shrine gates and people tend to arrive as early as possible to capture without the crowds. But we headed to that spot at 3pm and just by taking photos on the left side instead of the right, you will have photos of only you and the shrine gates at the background just like the first photo! 📍Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kyoto #timetotravel #japan #境外遊 #kyoto

Follow the Red Gates

One of the most iconic Shinto shrines in Kyoto is the Fushimi Inari Shrine, known for its thousands of torii gates. We were surprised at just how large the area is and how long the trails are - we spent over two hours hiking up and down the hills, following the bright red gates and passing by many small shrines. We arrived late in the afternoon and were lucky to catch the sun setting over Kyoto at a lookout point on the hill. #timetotravel #japan #kyoto #shintoshrine

A trip to Fushimi Inari Temple in Kimono

Let me share my incredible experience of visiting the enchanting Fushimi Inari Shrine in May. Picture this: lush greenery, wooden torii gates, and a sense of tranquility in the air. It was pure magic! As I stepped into the shrine's entrance, I was instantly mesmerized by the thousands of vibrant torii gates lining the pathway. The atmosphere was electric, with visitors from all over the world immersed in the spiritual ambiance. I couldn't resist taking countless snapshots at every turn! The highlight of my visit was the hike up to the summit of Mount Inari. The winding trail amidst the towering torii gates was both challenging and awe-inspiring. It felt like stepping into another world, surrounded by whispers of ancient tales and hidden secrets. It was a moment of pure serenity, and I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude for the experience. If you're planning a trip to Fushimi Inari, get ready to be captivated by its ethereal beauty. It's a place where nature, spirituality, and Japanese culture converge, leaving an indelible mark on your soul. #japan #fushimiinarishine #kyoto #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #passionpassport #travel

Udon Shop Overlooking Senbon Torii - Nishimura-tei

During our hike at Fushimi Inari Taisha, we had the opportunity to visit Nishimura-tei, the udon shop located at one of the rest area in Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto, and we must say it was a delightful experience. The shop is conveniently situated near the entrance of the shrine, making it a great spot to refuel after exploring the beautiful surroundings. We were lucky to be seated in the tatami room near the window, overlooking the scenic view of Senbon Torii or the 1000 Torii gate. We had kake udon, amazake, and of course inari sushi, since we're at Fushimi Inari Shrine. Tired and famished from the hike since morning, we gobbled up our food right away. All were delicious! #kyoto #urbanexplorer #japan #inari #fushimiinarishrine #udon #restarea #hike

Fushimi Inari Shrine

#kyoto a insta famous shrine in Kyoto. one of the must visits :p for their beautiful orange torri gates quite a lot of people when we visited after lunch though, so can’t even take a proper photo. I feel like I enjoyed my time the most when we came across a small cafe on our way back to the entrance, and got to sit outdoor and enjoy the beautiful, zen, relaxing garden view.

Hike through a thousand inscribed gates 😍

Fushimi Inari is famous for its thousands of inscribed red gates leading up to and around Mount Inari. There are multiple shrines along the way with Fushimi Inari being the most important. The joy of this small hike is in it’s beauty and serenity. I went very early in the morning (its open 24hrs with no entrance fee) and i was one of the only people walking around. It felt very special. I’ve heard it gets much busier as the day goes on though. #2023travelwish #japan #tripblazers

Summer kimono experience in Japan 🇯🇵

Wearing "Yukata" (casual summer kimono) is definitely a must-do in Japan! You can find kimono rental shops near famous spots. It will take time to pick out your favorite kimono, so you go there early. It also takes about 30 minutes to get dressed up and get your hair done. Don't worry, a kimono specialist will help you. This place is the famous Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto. It is famous for its thousand vermillon gates. We were wearing "geta" (wooden footwear) so it was impossible for us to finish the hike! Don't miss this place when you visit! Enjoy! #kimono #traditionalculture #japan #japaneseculture #fushimiinarishine #kyoto #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #2023travelwish

Fushimi Inari Taisha

Star attraction of Kyoto. Easily accesible by train from Kyoto station. Be warned about the crowds though, both locals and foreigners. If you arent planning to summit, can just allocate an hour here.

Mysterious Fushimi Shrine Inari shrine.

The moment I stepped into the shrine complex. The smell of mystery lingers in the air. It reminds me of me Chiyo from ‘Memoirs of A Geisha’. Saw her figure running in between the Tori gate. The is what I experience. It’s so mysterious. Really love it so much. A must place to visit do not leave it out from your itinerary. Best time to us early morning during the golden hour. Not much people around and you can get the picture that you ever shot. If you are not an early bird, you can come in the evening. The complex is open 24 hours. So you can choose either morning or night. Both timing will give the mysterious vibes. Miss Elly really enjoy the visit. #miss_elly69 #missellyadventure #japan #Kyoto

Fushimi Inari Shrine at Night ⛩️✨🇯🇵

You’ve probably been to Fushimi Inari Shrine before or at least have heard about it but let me tell you about how totally different the experience is when you visit the area at night. Fushimi Inari Shrine is know for the over 10,000 red torii gates and going through all of them would usually take from 2 to 3 hours. Not only will you sweat less if you climb the shrine at night, but the view of the city from the top would literally take breath away.#japan #旅行 #japantravel #japanese #japantravel #japantrip #japanliving #japanstreetscenes #kyoto #kyototravel #kyotojapan #kyotojapan

Japan reopening on 11th October!

I moved to Japan in April 2022, but for most visitors the country has been shut to tourists for around two years now. They trialed allowing in foreign tourists with tour groups over the summer, but it wasn't particularly popular and not affordable for young backpackers. However, time for some good news! From October 11th tourists with three vaccinations or a negative PCR test will be allowed to visit Japan independently once more! To celebrate, here are some photos from one of my bucket list sights - the Fushimi Inari shrine in Kyoto. This is definitely a must-see for your trip to Japan! I loved climbing the mountain through the incredible torii gates. There are also a few smaller temples and shrines nearby, as well as many great cafes and shops, so you can easily make a full day out of exploring this area 😊 Fun facts: - The Fushimi Inari shrine is dedicated to the Shinto god of rice, Inari. You will also see many fox statues around, as these are Inari's messangers. - The oldest structures of the shrine were built in 711, but most of what you see today was built in 1499 or later. New torii gates are still being added today. - The torii gates are sponsored by local and national companies. You can see their names written on the back. Top tips: - It can be quite a tiring walk, so wear sensible shoes and bring plenty of water. - Allow around 2-3 hours to walk up and down the mountain, enjoying the torii gates and views. - Arrive early to avoid the crowds. The shrine is open 24/7 so you can come any time of day or night. #bucketlistreboot #japan #kyoto

Serene and historic Kyoto

Kyoto is a lovely persevered Japanese city with lovely old wooden buildings, numerous gardens and temples, making it the cultural capital of Japan. Many of these sites are also listed on UNESCO. Kyoto is very close to Osaka, so a day trip by train is feasible. Spend a few days to truly get a feel of the area. The city makes you feel like you stepped back in time, which is a marked contrast from the ultramodern Japan of the present. The various temples are absolutely breath taking, even if you are not a believer in the said religion; one place not to miss would be the golden temple of Kinkaku-ji, which is an absolutely beautiful. The gardens are meticulously planned and laid out, making it natural yet ironically man made. The Tori gates at Fushimi Inari-taisha are an icon of Kyoto and a great example of this; you'll feel oddly at zen and relaxed among these seemingly neverending gates. Yet this setting in the bamboo forest gives it a calming effect. Overall, Kyoto is not to be missed. Wander among its many old streets, beautiful temples and calming gardens. Make sure to also sample the fresh and appetizing dishes the city is known for! #city #explore #unesco #travel #kyoto #japan
