Overview

Winner of TripAdvisor's "Best of the Best 2025" (Top 3 in Japan).

Don't just take a photo with a crowd—experience the true silence of Fushimi Inari. This 3-hour hidden hiking tour takes you off the beaten path to explore Kyoto's authentic nature.

1. Escape Overtourism : We start one station away from the crowded main entrance. Follow your local expert on a secret trail used only by locals, avoiding the massive tourist crowds.

2. Ghibli-like Scenery : Hike through mystical bamboo groves and discover beautiful, tiny shrines hidden deep in the forest. You will feel the authentic Japanese spirit.

3. Perfect Torii Gate Photos : Because we take a hidden route, you will have the chance to see and photograph the iconic thousand Torii gates in a much quieter, peaceful setting.

4. Healthy & Refreshing Burn off those travel calories! This hiking tour in fresh nature is the perfect way to refresh your body and mind. (Requires walking shoes. No strollers.)
