Hello, I'm Andrew Marston and welcome to Tour Japan, the show where I tell you about a place in Japan

and today we're headed to Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto.

Around Japan there are thousands of Shinto shrines dedicated to the rice goddess Inari

and her fleet of probably adorable fox messengers.

and of all these shrines the most important is the Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto.

that said, equally important to many tourists is taking a selfie in front of the red gates that cover the mountain paths behind the shrine.

Ok, so here's the main shrine, and just behind it, you can see where the path splits

and is where you'll find the highest density of red gates.

From here, as you stroll toward the summit

you'll also see several spots with sundry smaller shrines

from assorted Shinto sects, as well as shops, rest stops, and restaurants

About halfway up the mountain. Right here.

Is a place called the Yotsutsuji Intersection

and it's where you'll find the best view of the city on the whole walk

this is also the last rest area before the summit

finally, at the top of the mountain you'll find

Like Kinkakuji, if this is your first time visiting Kyoto

I highly recommend visiting Fushimi Inari Taisha

Alright so let's head there and see it for ourselves

I always go back and forth whether or not to recommend

people go all the way to the top of the mountain when they visit Fushimi Inari

because I mean, by the time you get halfway up the mountain

and you've seen the best view you're going to see at the Yotsutsuji Intersection

but then again you've already put in all that effort to go halfway up the mountain

it'd be a shame to waste it and not go all the way to the top

So that's the question I'll leave with you

let me know if you would visit the top of the mountain when you visit Fushimi Inari.

That's all I got today, thanks for watching, I'm Andrew Marston, see you next time.
