Fushimi Inari Shrine, or the Temple of a Thousand Red Gates, is one of Japan’s historic symbols dedicated to the goddess of crops. The great tunnels with portals meant for gods were built in accordance with Shintoism principles.

The Japanese people believe that a visit to Fushimi Inari Shrine brings success and prosperity. Do not even doubt whether it is worth seeing.

The appropriate period for the march

Welcome dear travel fans! I've been traveling around the world for 20 years and most of my trips were to Asia. I think I have been crazy about Japan since I was a child and will be happy to share this passion with you.

Additional information

This Shinto shrine and its Torii gate you will see on Instagram and Facebook, I would say it’s the most recognizable place in Japan (of course after Fuji mountain). It is located at the bottom of Inari mountain and it will take around 2 hours to hike up to the top and to go through these massive Torii gates which are considered to divide the sacred space of the shrine and the human world.

The proper way to enter this shrine is to bow at the entrance before you go through the main Torii gate, after that you can wash your hands one by one by pouring water with the special cup. You will see people donating and wishing for good luck near the main hall. It’s probably going to be crowded but once you start to go the Torii gate path (basically hike up the mountain) you will find there are fewer people as not everyone can hike up to the very top. You can also visit Fushimi Inari at night. It will be empty and you can have that exclusive Fushimi Inari experience.
