Red Gates + Scenic Hikes at Fushimi Inari Shrine


One of the longest walks uphill and across many stairs to get through the famous Fushimi Inari-Taisha in Kyoto. There are plenty of bright orange-red torii gates throughout the stroll, adding vibrant color and contrast to the serene trees nearby.

After walking in and out of different gates and exploring alternating viewpoints on the mountains, you not only get a break from the chaotic crowds but also get to feel the calming spirit of Kyoto.
