Overview
Take a trip to Fushimi Inari Taisha on your Japan Vacation
Fushimi Inari Shrine, located in southern Kyoto, holds great significance in Shinto beliefs. It is renowned for its striking vermilion torii gates, forming a picturesque path along the trails behind the main structures. Dedicated to Inari, the deity of prosperity and business success, this shrine serves as the principal Inari shrine in Japan. The mesmerizing sight of countless orange torii gates stretching toward Mt. Inari offers a captivating experience and is an iconic symbol of Japan.
It is perfect for a day hike, typically taking two to three hours to explore the mountain. Along the way, you'll find a convenient stop with a souvenir shop and tea stall offering refreshments like snacks and ice cream. While many visitors are drawn to Fushimi Inari Shrine for its scenic trails, the shrine's architecture is an attraction in itself.

You should try a Zen meditation session. Imagine slipping into a silk kimono for the day—carefully tied by an expert dresser, every fold precise, every colour chosen to suit the season. It’s a ritual that feels as personal as it is timeless.
What do I love about Japan? In a word - EVERYTHING. The incredible contrast that Japan offers - new/innovative vs old/traditional, the warm and welcoming people, the incredible rich culture, the culinary wonders awaiting around every corner, the cleanliness, efficiency and safety. It's one of the best places to visit in Asia in my opinion.
Every season offers something to fall in love with, but autumn feels especially magical—fewer tourists, crisp weather, and foliage that rivals the famous blossoms.
