- 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.

【Personal Profile】
I was raised in the Fushimi district and live in the vicinity of Fushimi Inari Taisha. As a result, I’ve been familiar with Fushimi Inari Shrine from a young age. Despite the fact that Fushimi Inari Shrine is now one of the most sought-after tourist destinations, it often feels overcrowded, almost resembling a theme park. Let me guide you to experience the tranquility and natural beauty of this place as the locals used to do. With a deep understanding of this mountain and its numerous, often hidden trails—which do not appear on official maps—I am your go-to local guide. If you’re interested in discovering offbeat, less congested places in Kyoto, don’t hesitate to ask me. Any questions about Japan in general are also welcome.
I’ve been running my own tour agency since 2011.
