There are so many of these structures to walk through, great shade especially on a sunny day. The brilliant colors you see from photos are just as impressive up close.

Fantastic experience and in the late afternoon the forest was refreshingly cool even though it was over 30 degrees in the sun. Best to use the train, there is a bus from Kyoto station but it is once an hour.

Amazing! We had an awesome experience at this shrine. Once you get past the main complex area and into the trails at the back, you will see the torii in vast quantities... They literally line the trails, but they do thin out as you go... Some of my best shots are from this shrine...

The restaurant with a view at the crossroads 20 minutes from the top is great if you can get a spot inside the Japanese part overlooking Kyoto.

We spent nearly two hours walking through the torii and stopping at the hundreds of small shrines on the way up the mountain, and when we came across a map, we discovered that we had only covered half of the route! We could have spent a whole day at this shrine, as it was so beautiful. Take time and be... More

This was a great little hike. Just don't expect a stunning view from the very top - the trees have grown too high to see the city.

One of the best temple i visited while i was in japan. With thousand red gates along the way , very beautiful scence. And it free of charge!! :D
