What to expect

  1. Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine
    30m
    We pass through the large Torii gate at the entrance of the shrine, the separation between the world of the living and that of the spirits. We then go through the Romon tower, where the two guardians of the place welcome us.
  2. Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine
    30m
    We arrive at the main hall, the Honden, where we can greet the goddess Inari, the mistress of the place. Inari is the goddess of rice and harvests, and by extension the protector of commerce. His guardian animal is the fox.
  3. Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine
    30m
    We are climbing the mountain through its staircase maze. It's the highlight of the visit: the entire path is dotted with these 10,000 torii gates, which give the place its fame. It's an opportunity for us to recharge and to have our eyes full.
  4. Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine
    30m
    We arrive at the Mount Inari Observatory, which overlooks all of Kyoto. The climb was well worth it! It's an opportunity for us to take photos and rest from this sporty climb. After that, we can go down to the main hall... or, for the more daring, continue to the summit.
