- This is a Fushimi Inari Shrine Walk & Guide in Kyoto Japan during 2022! This Kyoto Japan Travel vlog takes us through the famous Fushimi Inari area in Kyoto, Japan. There are countless hidden gems to explore here such as meandering side paths, bamboo forests, shinto shrines, ponds, and much more! I recommend you start at the main shinto shrine and then hike your way up Mt. Inari. It is one of the most popular things to do in Japan for good reason!

I remember when I went there with a friend before everything shut down because of covid, we accidentally took a wrong turn at one of the "rest stations" and we landed in a forest like path were there was literally NO ONE. We just went with it and tried to figure out which way to go randomly because it was extremely amazing. We walked down a small path alongside a really small water stream where the space was really narrow and we did see some few little crabs . We eventually found our way back to the main path going up the rest to the top.
It was such an awesome experience. Still wondering how we ended up there in the middle hahaha.
That's so amazing, that is the type of experience that you will probably treasure for a lifetime! I love all of the little diverging adventures/side quests that it feels like Fushimi Inari has
This is the best video of fushimi inari I've seen on the internet. Thank you for this ! I'll be there on 21st Sep and this video made me even more excited
Wow that is such a generous comment thank you so much! I'm jealous to hear you're going to Japan haha, I'm sure you'll have a great trip. If you want to check out more about Kyoto/Kansai region of Japan, I made some other useful guides that could be useful. Have a good time!
@@WanderlustWellman yes I've been watching your other videos as well (of kiyomizu-dera, etc.) 🤗
I'll be going solo so I find your videos very helpful, thanks for all the effort
I just got back from a trip there.
Our guide told us that for the longest time, the exact number of gates on the mountain was unknown.
But recently, a group of University students with way too much time on their hands went about the painstaking task of actually counting them.
The official number was 7,525.
Woah. that's crazy! Hope you had a great trip!
@@WanderlustWellman I did.
What 7525 and every post have a donors name....
Such a stunning place, great tour guys, I enjoyed it🤩
Thank you for sharing 🤗🙏🏽
Btw happy joyful new year🎉🎊 2023🎇✳️✨ 🥂🥂
Happy new year!!
Yes it's amazing up up , at Kyoto inari shrine....nice to visit ...
@@bonifaciopalaris7902 we thought so too!
So many gates! So little time. You two are true explorers for sure!
It sure felt like it! And it takes one to know one 😉
Truly great and super insightful videos! I am a fan!
Thanks so much, I appreciate you :)
Wow, you capture it very well. There are many nice places. Thanks for share with us. Greetings from Germany.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this video ! It's a pity than you didn't explain how to practice this - when you are in Shinto-Temple or Shinto-aerea !
Thank you for watching, and that's a good question, I'm not entirely sure how people practice Shintoism at a shrine - I know usually people might pray, ring a bell, clap, wash their hands and mouths, and also get their fortune told at shrines/temples in Japan
Thank you. Good content. Fyi.🦅
@@halilozel1903thank you so much!
Tysm for the video. There is so many places to visit in Kyoto，sadly I have not enough time to visit all. I am planning to visit yasaka- dori, Arashiyama, Fushimi. Are these places enough? Is the any places that is a must visit and I missed out on. Please tell me if there is
Thank you, there are indeed so many places to visit in Kyoto. I definitely think that Arashiyama and Fushimi Inari are must visits, but when you visit Yasaka-dori you should also visit Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka streets (they are right nearby and are beautiful). I also think you need to explore Gion, specifically the area around the Tatsumi Bridge. Maybe some buddhist temples as well.
how long did you spend at Fushimi Inari Taisha? What is the recommended time? i will be there next week!
@@anthealow6966 I think we spent 3 or 4 hours, but you could easily spend more or less depending on how much you explore off the beaten path or how long you spend in each area. I would recommend getting there as early as possible to avoid the crowds, and also to avoid the heat while hiking. Have a great time!
Is it possible to cover fushimi inari shrine, yasaka shrine, maruyama park and kiyomizu dera in 1 day?
Also how long did it take for you to explore all of fushimi inari? 😊
It’s definitely possible, although it will be a busy day! And it took us maybe 2-3 hours to do Fushimi Inari but we certainly took our time and tried to explore off the beaten path as much as possible. I would start with Fushimi Inari, then do Kiyomizudera, then do Yasaka Shrine/Maruyama Park (going from south to north). Ideally, you would be at Yasaka Park in the late evening to dusk and then night time - the shrine is most beautiful at night with the lanterns lit up!
@@WanderlustWellman thank you so much...that definitely makes sense and i am gonna try it out
I also feel like you would really enjoy Korea as well! Have you ever thought about going to Korea one day?
We actually flew from Korea to Japan because we spent one month in Seoul! We loved spending time in Korea
Does Kyoto scenery look good in late January? Are places like Sannenzaka and Arashiyama Bamboo Grove - dull or vibrant during last week of January?
I’ve never visited in late January, but I visited in February/early March before and everywhere was still magical!
@@WanderlustWellman - wow! That's nice :)
What time do you recommend going? It's so hard to wake up early >.
Ik, it’s so hard to get up early - especially when traveling! I think it’s open all hours of the day, so the earlier the better. I would imagine going before 10am would be ideal. However, it was so vast that once you get past the busy early section, the crowds really thin out and you can get some peace and quiet further up the mountain. Hope this helps!
Is there any entrance fee to go through the Torii gates and to the shrines ?
No entrance fee at all, it’s completely free!
Inari is the kind of god it serves, which has ties with the foxes. The shrine’s name is not because of the mountain.
Thanks for the information! They must’ve named the mountain from the God too then, right?
Is this close to bamboo forest?
Not exactly, it's about an hour away taking public transportation
do i need to visit there early?
Not necessarily, but the earlier you go the fewer people you will encounter!
@@WanderlustWellman thanks
Hi, is this doable in a couple of hours?
Definitely, but I would encourage giving yourself half-a-day, or basing a day around doing this.
@WanderlustWellman thanks, man! Can't spare a whole day but will try to explore it as much as I can fit in my packed itinerary:)
cheers from Poland, stay connected
Thank you, will do my friend
Having been to Kyoto just once, walking through the 10,000 Tori gates at Fushimi Inari, eating the food, seeing women in Kimonos and so much reflection, joy and thought in peoples faces blending in with the atmosphere really grounds you to earth and makes you want to be a better person. Makes you reflect on your own life. Disrespecting anything there, even the Bamboo is just an insult to the entire culture and harmony and connection the Japanese have with their land, they are one with it, it's part of them through and through. Harming the nature is harming the people. Don't be an ass!
Totally agree, Fushimi Inari is a magical place!
I'm so sorry,... just can't agree,... I hate Fushimi Inari Taisha ... it's nothing but corporate commercials ... Shimogamo Shrine is so much more historical and important to Kyoto ....
Don't apologize, I always encourage people to share their opinions whether I agree with them or not. Sounds like you really love that shrine in Kyoto!
@@WanderlustWellman well,... there is also Rokkakudo ... this is where ikebana started and ... at the shrine is a large stone with a six sided hole cut in it; this represents the geographical center of Kyoto.
I always find it curious how people can be on the other side of the world and still find something to complain about lol some people will never even get to see it in person, look at it, take it in and be grateful you got the chance to experience it.
@@OrangeSoda1432 um,... the shrine is especially important to companies,... hence all the gates, along with the company name and date of erection (errr,... that doesn't sound quite right ...) ... to me, it's like walking through an endless infomercial,... for those who haven't seen it, you really aren't missing much. Anyway, my relatives always want to hike here ...
