A Day Trip To Kyoto’s Fushimi Inari Shrine! ⛩️ | Solo Travel Japan Vlog

After 5 trips to Japan, this was actually my very first time visiting Kyoto's magnificent Fushimi Inari Shrine!

I always imagined the hike through the thousands of the iconic red gates would be too crowded to be worthwhile, but I managed to skip past the crowds and enjoy a relaxing and peaceful morning climbing to the summit of Mount Inari!

If you have a half-day in Kyoto, Fushimi Inari is definitely a must-visit; the views from the mountain are spectacular, and if you arrive at the shrine early enough, you'll easily get a chance to get that famous Memoirs Of A Geisha photo opp (without ANY people in the background!).
