- Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine - Let’s hike a beautiful unknown way to Fushimi Inari shrine, inside a big mountain. There are so many paths including a dangerous way to higher sites. Nowadays the main roads are extremely crowded and have no peace, although it is a spiritual place. I will show you a secret path with bamboos at the backside of the shrine. In other places, bamboo streets are a famous Japanese symbol that is full of tourists, too. But here I can show you that it is not like that. Fushimi Inari shrine had been a silent and calm place for many years until it became as famous as it is today. But there is still some territory that has not yet been discovered by tourists because it is not easy to find it by them and once you got lost there, it would be hard to come back. It is the way locals take, and I will show you.
If you have a request for your most convenient time or date, feel free to ask me to adjust my schedule. I’ll flexibly fit your schedule. Any requests on short notice are welcome too.

Today, Fushimi Inari shrine is a major tourist attraction, often crowded like an amusement park. My goal is to help you experience the natural beauty and tranquility that locals cherish. As someone familiar with the mountain’s trails, I can guide you to many hidden, beautiful hiking paths not found on official maps.
If you’re interested in discovering less crowded spots in Kyoto, feel free to ask me. I’m also open to any questions about Japan, Shinto, and Zen Buddhism.
I have been running my tour agency, Tour Bench Inc., since 2011. Consider joining one of my Kyoto tours, as I offer a variety of options.
【How much exercise】
Fushimi Inari shrine is situated on a large mountain, requiring a climb up stairs or hilly paths to reach the summit. The elevation is about 200 meters, so it’s not very high. Don’t forget to bring some water :)
