Overview
Inari Mountain Tour (Round-Trip Taxi from Kyoto Station)
Experience the iconic Fushimi Inari Shrine like no one else. This exclusive evening tour takes you beyond the crowds and into the serene beauty of the mountain trails, illuminated by lanterns, moonlight, and the warm red hues of thousands of torii gates.
Your journey begins with a convenient private taxi pickup from Kyoto Station. Upon arrival, your expert local guide will lead you through the famous vermilion torii gates. As dusk falls, the daytime bustle fades, and a quieter, more spiritual atmosphere takes over.
Along the way, you’ll uncover hidden sub-shrines, stone fox statues, and sacred altars often missed by daytime visitors. You might encounter cats if you’re lucky! 🐈🐈⬛
Learn about the fascinating history of Fushimi Inari Taisha, Japan’s most important shrine dedicated to Inari, the Shinto god of rice, prosperity, and fox spirits. Your guide will share stories and legends that bring the mountain to life — from ancient rituals to eerie local folklore.
The hike gradually ascends the wooded trails of Mt. Inari, offering occasional glimpses of Kyoto’s nightscape twinkling in the distance. The full route takes approximately 2 hours at a moderate pace, with plenty of breaks for photos, stories, and quiet moments of reflection.
At the end of the hike, your taxi will be escort you back to the Kyoto Station — no need to navigate public transport in the dark.
