Take the road less travelled to one of Kyoto's most iconic monuments on Kyoto's No. 1 guided hiking tour of the Fushimi Inari-Taisha Shrine.

Fushimi Inari Hike

Having met up at your chosen time at Tofukuji Station, we'll set off walking through the streets of Kyoto towards the lesser-known path to the world-famous Fushimi Inari-Taisha Shrine, located about 20 minutes away.

Arriving at our destination, we'll begin a 5-kilometre (3 mile) guided hiking tour to learn all about this Shinto shrine, which was built in the year 711. Did you know that the shrine is dedicated to the Shinto kami, or spirit, of rice and sake? We'll learn all about the beliefs and customs of the Japanese religion as we explore Fushimi Inari-Taisha.

Equally as enchanting as the shrine itself are its beautiful surroundings, which we'll be able to enjoy en route, discovering natural bamboo forests and a small Inari Shrine around Fushimi Inari. We'll travel up trails seldom visited by tourists to get a truly authentic experience with no crowds!

After our hike, we'll walk through the iconic Tori gates that starred in the movie Memoirs of a Geisha - a must-see in Kyoto. This atmospheric path will take us to the highest point of Fushimi Inari-Taisha, from which we'll enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of Kyoto.

Our 3-hour tour will usually conclude around the main shrine, though tour routes may vary.

Important

We take regular breaks and can add stops if needed. Children under 8 need parental permission. Additionally, due to the nature of the tour, it's not wheelchair accessible and not recommended for those with mobility issues or pregnant women.
