Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine

Fushimi Inari Taisha is one of the oldest Shinto Shrine in Kyoto. Locally called “Oinari-san”, it is the main shrine of all the Inari shrines in Japan. People originally went there to prey for fertility, grain harvest, sake and tea, but now it’s more about business and general prosperity.

If you decide to go visit the shrine, we advise that you wear sneakers. Indeed, as the shrine is located on the sacred Mount Inari, it would take some time and efforts to reach the edge (Around 30 minutes). But all along the path, you will be able to enjoy the beautiful forest scenery and the red sacred gates (Torii).
