Fushimi

Kyoto Neighbourhood Guide

Spiritual, industrious, quiet after dusk

Home to Fushimi Inari Taisha and its thousands of vermilion torii gates climbing Mount Inari, plus a centuries-old sake-brewing district drawing on the area's soft underground water. Feels distinctly local once the shrine crowds thin out.

Fushimi Inari Taisha

Thousands of vermilion torii gates, each donated by a business or individual, form tunnels that climb the wooded slopes of Mount Inari. It is Kyoto's most photographed sight. The main shrine buildings are striking on their own, but the gates are the reason people come.
