- What to expect
-
As the sun sets, the endless red torii gates of Fushimi Inari fade into the evening shadows. This is Kyoto’s most iconic shrine—but we visit it at the perfect hour, when the crowds disappear and silence takes over. Learn the meaning behind the torii and the spiritual stories of the mountain. We won’t climb to the top, but we’ll walk far enough to soak in the magic and capture incredible photos, surrounded by the natural twilight glow.
