Southern Kyoto has a reserved air. Though the Fushimi
Inari Shrine is one of Kyoto's major tourist
attractions, the surrounding nature, parks, gardens,
temples, and shrines provide less-visited spaces for
strolling and reflection. The Fushimi Inari Shrine
itself is made up of 32,000 sub-shrines, and the
mountain they are dotted across beckons hikers,
picnickers, and lovers of the outdoors. Many of the
...More
mountain's off-set paths aren't frequented by
tourists, and the mountain's serenity can be enjoyed
at a leisurely pace. Southern Kyoto is the place to
enjoy being outside, and to pay your respects to the
ancient architecture and gods of the land that are
celebrated here.
