Beautiful must-see Kyoto shrine

Fushimi Inari-taisha has long hillside paths snaking up the mountain through arcades of torii gates, with smaller shrines off to the sides on the way up with jumbles of smaller torii gates and kitsune (fox) statuettes. It's a steep climb in parts but it's an...More

Amazing experience

We arrived early and though there were already plenty of people at the base of the shrine, after 15 mins walking, the crowds thinned out. We took our time walking the entire walk....all up about 2 hrs round trip. It is a doable walk and...More

I don't know how many people make it to the top. But it takes a REALLY long time. We kept going and going, after the rest of our family (kids and seniors) gave up after 45 minutes. And once you make it up half way...More

Another unique Kyoto landmark

As seen in Memoirs of a Geisha, this is a temple with these Torii all over the mountain in closely lined paths. Each has been donated by families.

Breathtaking views but touristy

The tori gates definitely looks exceptional on its own. The hike was a little tiring but definitely doable. It will take about 30 to 40 minutes to get to the summit, which is very worthy. There was a lot of Chinese tourist which keeps blocking...More

Worth it

The crowds were something else, but if you can ignore the crowds, the torii gate makes it worth a visit.

attractions, the surrounding nature, parks, gardens,
temples, and shrines provide less-visited spaces for
strolling and reflection. The Fushimi Inari Shrine
itself is made up of 32,000 sub-shrines, and the
mountain they are dotted across beckons hikers,

The opening times info on TripAdvisor shows 24hours a day. Is this site actually accessible at 4-5am, and are there any photography restrictions (like no tripods)? I like to take photos and hit a location super early to either get a good spot or take long exposure shots.

Yes, it’s definitely open 24 hours. The earlier you go the better. If you are going by train though, check the time of the first train.
