Kyoto Fushimi Inari & Yotsutsuji Viewpoint Night Walk - Meet at Kyoto Station

Meet your guide at Kyoto Station
and head to Fushimi Inari at night

Meet your local guide at Kyoto Station and travel about 30 minutes by public transport to Fushimi Inari Shrine. Fushimi Inari is open 24 hours; after dark the tourists disappear and stone lanterns light the red torii tunnels, creating a quiet atmosphere completely different from the daytime.

Walk the lantern-lit Senbon Torii

Pass through the famous Senbon Torii, where gates stand densely in rows, as your guide tells you about the shrine's history, the legends of Inari, the god of rice, and the fox guardians that protect the shrine. Your time at the shrine, including photo stops, the visit and the guided tour, is about 1.5 hours.

Take in the lights of Kyoto from the Yotsutsuji viewpoint

Follow the lantern-lit lower loop for about 45 minutes up to the Yotsutsuji viewpoint, where the lights of Kyoto spread out below. You will return from the viewpoint.

Along the way, your guide will find the most cinematic spots and take photos of you framed by the glowing gates.

※ This is an easy evening walk with some gentle stairs.
※ The itinerary may change depending on local conditions.
