Fushimi Inari Shrine is a must see if you are in Kyoto. The sight of the many tori gates lined up one after another is almost breathtaking. We went to the shrine late in the afternoon so we did not get to take the 2 hour hike up the mountain. Take the Keihan line to Fushimi Inari station and there... More

The Fushimi Inari Shrine is really spectacular. You can get there easily by a bus (runs only once an hour) or on JR train. This is different from other shrines. The trails through the tens and tens of Tori Gates are amazing. You get a view over the city up the trail. My favorite shrine in Kyoto. There was no... More

So I just got back from kyoto and I must say that this was the highlight of the trip. Got a 1day bus pass for 500 yen and went all over the place. Fushimi inari is simply breath taking.

I knew I wanted to visit the Fushimi Inari Shrine after I had seen some of the striking pictures. And, though the pictures are amazing, they do not do the shrine justice! It was simply amazing to be there--quite an experience! It was very easy to get to by train, and well worth it. It is free to walk around... More

Like in a dream, these scattered temples are hidden in a magic and dark forest. It is a bit outside of Kyoto, but easily reachable from the Inari metro station. The place is unlike any other temple in Japan, and thousands of torii are guarding the pathway. It takes around 1-2 hours to make the full circle of the mountain.... More

If you're into culture, Fushimi Inari is the place to be. I think they are personally on par with Nara. More

Fushimi Inari is worth visiting, the rows and rows of red torii gates is impressive, makes a good place for some fantastic photos. Its a short train ride from kyoto statin ( 2 stops), and the shrine is just outside the station. More

It was as stunning as I had expected & then some more! Make sure you trek all the way up to the top if you can, as it is well worth the climb. More

We didn't plan to visit this shrine initially, as it was slightly outside the other Kyoto attractions. However, our Kyoto guide brought us there and it turned out to be the best attraction in Kyoto. Located just 2 short train stops away from Kyoto Station, the shrine is right across the train station. Immediately, you are greeted by a big... More
