Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto, Japan (伏見稲荷大社) ️ | Hiking Kyoto s 10,000 Red Gates!

Another Kyoto must-visit! We woke up early to visit Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto, Japan. This is the famed shrine with 10,000 red gates lining a path through the wooded forest of Mount Inari. The shrine is dedicated to Inari (伏見稲荷大社), the Shinto god of rice agriculture, but he is also worshipped by those in business. The foxes seen throughout the shrine are regarded as Inari s messengers - one of them holds a key in his mouth symbolizing the keys to the rice granary. The red torii gates along the entire trail, are all donations by both individuals and companies. Also, if this place looks familiar, you probably recognize it from the movie Memoirs of a Geisha ! Fushimi Inari Taisha (伏見稲荷大社) is a must-visit attraction in Kyoto, Japan. As one of the most iconic Instagram worthy places to visit in Kyoto (and all of Japan) we d highly recommend waking up as early as possible to visit before it becomes impossibly busy with crowds. The earlier you get there the more likely you will have opportunities to snap photos without other people being in them. Furthermore, the further up you hike the more you have Fushimi Inari Taisha (伏見稲荷大社) to yourself. Have you visited Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto, Japan?

Hey guys! We are Samuel and Audrey, a vlogging travel couple from Canada. In this travel channel, we share our travel and food vlogs while touring the world. Our most recent trip was to Japan where we spent 2 months travelling around the country and visiting the following destinations: Osaka, Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, Nikko, Takayama, Yokohama, Odaiba, Shirakawa-gō and Takao. During our stay, we visited a mixture of big cities and small rural towns, where we enjoyed eating Japanese street food, trying traditional Japanese cuisine, visiting local attractions and staying in unique accommodations (such as capsule hotels and ryokans) that we are now going to share with you on this channel. The combination and contrast of visiting futuristic cities and traditional countryside areas is what makes travel to Japan so fascinating. Ultra modern versus traditional. This is the essence of Japan. Our trip to Japan was unforgettable and until now it is one of our favourite countries that we have come to know. However, we only feel as though we just scratched the surface on this trip to Japan. If you want to see more videos from Japan in the future, let us know in the comments that places you d like us to travel to and food experiences you would like to see on this travel channel.
