Discover the spiritual heart of Kyoto at Fushimi Inari Shrine, famous for its thousands of vibrant red torii gates. Hike through the enchanting paths that lead up Mount Inari, surrounded by a deep sense of history, spirituality and nature. This iconic Shinto shrine is dedicated to Inari, the god of rice, agriculture, and business. Visitors come to pray for success, health, and happiness while exploring smaller shrines, stone fox statues, and scenic viewpoints.

Wander through towering bamboo groves that stretch towards the sky, creating a serene and otherworldly atmosphere. As sunlight filters through the dense canopy, the soft rustle of bamboo leaves and the gentle sway of the tall stalks will transport you to a place of peace and reflection.

Haruka was an amazing tour guide and she took great pictures for us. 715 tour beat the crowds and the heat

Nice composite tour program. However, we could have spent 10 more minutes in Fushimi Inara. Our guide Vincent and his companion Suki(?) were good tellers. It was almost 40 C, but we had good breaks and focused on staying in the shade at stops.

We went super early in the morning specifically so that we could get good pictures without a lot of people being there. We beat the crowds, but I like to collect the stamps at each temple or shrine that we go to and wish I had known that the temple is not actually open this early because I couldn’t get my stamp and had to come back again after the tour in order to get one. Our tour guide was nice but had body odor I know can’t always be helped in hot and humid summer, but this was evident first thing in the morning when we met him at the meeting point, so I don’t think it had anything to do with the heat at that point. We were also not well informed when booking the tour that it did not include our train tickets to each place we visited. For the price of this tour, it should include the transportation. Overall, I would not recommend this as we would have had a better time just simply going on our own.

I’ve visited several countries and use these reviews as a trusted guide, so to pay it forward I’m leaving a review. With only one day in Kyoto our guide was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and brought us to great sights, highly recommend!
