Fushimi Inari Shrine

Did you know that Fushimi Inari Shrine, which is lit up under the blue sky, is also attractive, but Fushimi Inari Shrine under the dark night sky and moonlight is also attractive? The shrine’s appearance, with its soft lighting, can only be seen at night, so immerse yourself in the mysterious atmosphere that the night walking tour brings.

Also, if you visit in the evening, there are fewer tourists than during the day, so you can enjoy your time leisurely. Go on a tour to enjoy the quiet and secluded Fushimi Inari Shrine!

Red Torii Tunnel

The biggest attraction of Fushimi Inari Shrine is the red torii all over the shrine. Torii (鳥居) is a gate erected at the entrance of a Japanese shrine and serves the function of 'separating the sacred space from the secular space'. There are various reasons for the color red, but it is said that among them, red is considered to ward off evil spirits and is a sacred color.

Tour with a guide

As you walk through the red torii tunnel of Fushimi Inari Shrine, which becomes especially quiet and mysterious at night, if you have any questions, it would be a good idea to ask the guide! The knowledgeable guide will conduct the tour in English, and you will have an even more enriching time listening to explanations about Kyoto’s history and culture.
