Kyoto, Japan | Fushimi Inari Taisha ⛩️

Fushimi Inari Taisha ⛩️ is a must-visit spot when playing in Kyoto. Here's a summary of the best route for wandering and taking photos after several visits, so please accept it~ ❶ One-third of the shrines in Japan are called Inari Shrines, but Fushimi Inari Taisha is the head shrine of them all. ❷ The Senbon Torii is the most famous. A large Torii stands at the entrance, followed by the main hall of the shrine; it's also a filming location for "Memoirs of a Geisha". 🚇 Transportation ▫️ Get off at 'Inari Station' on the 'JR Nara Line' ▫️ Get off at 'Fushimi Inari Station' on the 'Keihan Main Line' 🕐 Duration: 1-3 hours ▫️ Basically, you won't go to the top of the mountain ⛰️. The core is the Senbon Torii at the foot of the mountain, snacks, and souvenir shops, which takes about 1-2 hours. ▫️ If you go up the mountain, estimate about an hour and a half for a round trip, and the total time will be 3 hours; the scenery on the mountain is average, and it's not recommended if you don't love hiking. 🎫 Admission: Free ⏰ Business Hours: 24 hours, it's recommended to go early (before 8 am when there's no one) or in the evening (for better light and shadows). 🌈 One-day Kyoto city walk route Fushimi Inari Taisha (2 hours) → Sanjusangendo (1 hour) → Kiyomizu-dera (2.5 hours) → Sannenzaka & Ninnenzaka (1.5 hours) → Yasaka Shrine (1 hour) → Gion & Hanami-koji (1.5 hours). 🌈 Fushimi Inari Taisha route Omikuji Path → Gate Tower → Main Hall → Tamayama Inari Shrine → Senbon Torii → Takao Jinja → Third Intersection → Fourth Intersection → Yashima-no-ike Pond → Shrine Office → Exit (snacks & souvenir shops, for eating and shopping). 📸 Check-in spots ❶ Senbon Torii: The most core check-in point; the Torii, also known as "gates", are densely and orderly arranged from the foot of the mountain to the top. The deeper you go, the fewer people there are, making it more suitable for taking photos 📷. #Japan #JapanFreeTravel #Osaka #Kyoto #KyotoTravel #KyotoTourism #FushimiInariTaisha
