Fushimi Inari Hidden Hiking Tour

Take the road less travelled to one of Kyoto's most iconic monuments on Kyoto's No. 1 guided hiking tour of the Fushimi Inari-Taisha Shrine.

Fushimi Inari Hike

Meet at your chosen time at Tofukuji Station and walk towards the lesser-known path to Fushimi Inari-Taisha Shrine, about 20 minutes away.

Upon arrival, begin a 5-kilometre (3 mile) guided hiking tour to learn about this Shinto shrine, built in 711, dedicated to the Shinto kami of rice and sake. Explore the beliefs and customs of Japanese religion at Fushimi Inari-Taisha while enjoying trails with natural bamboo forests and a small Inari Shrine.

Experience the iconic Tori gates featured in the film Memoirs of a Geisha as you ascend to the highest point of Fushimi Inari-Taisha for a panoramic view of Kyoto.

This 3-hour tour will generally end at the main shrine, though routes may vary.
