Fushimi Inari English Tour: Torii Gates and a Hidden Bamboo Forest
Experience Kyoto’s most iconic shrine the way locals do. This English-guided walking tour, led by Dan, a Kyoto native, takes you through the thousands of vermilion torii gates of Fushimi Inari Taisha and up the quieter paths of Mount Inari, away from the busiest crowds.
Dan explains the shrine’s history, the meaning behind the fox statues, and the traditions of Inari worship, the deity of rice, prosperity, and business.
