What To Expect

Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine

You can see Japan's background that is off-limits to ordinary tourists after the tour. This short trip is a fantastic and great value way of experiencing Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine! We are here to help you discover new things, the Fushimi Inari Shrine is so more than its famous tunnels of vermillion-red torii gates. Most people are satisfied by a scenic view of it. But this has a lot of stories to tell that will connect you to the Japan's history and culture and your guide will show you deeper. You will see a fascinating story attached to the origin of the shrine dedicated to the god of grains – that’s what “Inari” means – . This is also why you’ll see statues of the fox around the shrine. “Kitsune” or the fox is a servant to the god Inari. They are cunning tricksters, clever minded animals who make perfect guides for the treacherous business world. You may would want the foxes on your side after this tour.

    Had a great tour with Yuka. She is very knowledgeable and made the tour come alive. We didn't want to stop at a restaurant to eat so we stopped at a Japanese fast food place, Lawson's to get what we needed. Only problem we had was with the car and the air conditioning. The driver fixed it at. our first stop. She Took some great pictures of us as a group in the Bamboo Forest.
