The Experience
What your day looks like
Hike through a secret path into Fushimi Inari Shrine. Even though there is Fushi-inari station, we start the tour from Tofukuji station because we enter the Fushi-inari shrine from the back side of the main entrance. -Journey into a secret bamboo forest. We will discover a natural bamboo forest and a small Inari shrine hidden from tourists. Fushimi Inari's main entrance is hard to navigate due to a lot of people, but by walking through the mountains, we will see Fushimi Inari from a new perspective, away from the crowd. Return to civilization after a breathtaking view a top the mountains of Fushimi Inari. From here on, we will explore tourist areas on the way to the top of the mountain. Tour routes may vary, but they will end somewhere around the main shrine.

What to Bring
As the ground can be slippery, you need to come wearing shoes with a good grip. There may be mosquitoes and bugs as the group will hike in the mountain, so we strongly recommend wearing a long-sleeved shirt and long pants.
Restrictions
Not recommended for people with back problems, or serious health conditions. Not recommended for pregnant travelers. This hike is not super difficult, approximately 7km in total. But it is not a simple walk and does take some effort. We would not recommend it for people who have trouble walking or are not in a regular condition. We take regular stops and can do extra stops if needed.

Great tour. Nice to be able to get up to a popular tourist spot by a back route with very few people around until you get to the temple itself. Great way to go there. Guide was great and informative.
