The area is peaceful, surrounded by dense forest and fresh mountain air—perfect for reflection or a scenic break.

Free. Transportation to Fushimi Inari (trailhead) from Kyoto Station is about ¥150 via JR Nara Line.

💡#1 Travel Tip:
Bring a light snack and water—it’s a great rest point.

🚨Travel Hack:
Start the hike early and take the back trail from the Yotsutsuji intersection to avoid crowds and reach the deck in peace.
