Kyoto’s Fushimi Inari is an ab

Kyoto’s Fushimi Inari is an absolute legend, and I just spent a day soaking up all its shrine magic and bold local vibes — serious bucket list vibes here! 🌸⛩️

Top Spots to Visit:
1. Kyotokimonorentaru Aiwafuku Fushimiinariten (35-3 Fukakusa Ichinotsubocho, Fushimi Ward, Kyoto). Start off by renting a gorgeous kimono for those must-have Insta shots! They make it super easy, and the staff are super welcoming.
2. Senbon Torii (Thousand Torii Gates, 68 Fukakusa Yabunouchicho, Fushimi Ward, Kyoto) — open 24/7! Walk beneath thousands of fiery-orange gates — it’s pure magic and feels otherworldly, especially if you climb the long stone stairs uphill (don’t skip — the climb up is what makes it epic, but pace yourself and bring water). Heading back down shows you hidden corners and quieter shrine moments.
3. LAWSON Fushimi-Inari Station Front Store. Pit stop for snacks or a quick convenience store break! Grab an onigiri or cool drink after sweating those stairs.

Personal tip: The stair climb is a workout, so comfy shoes are a must. Early mornings or late afternoons mean less crowds and dreamy light.

Getting Around: Use Kyoto’s local JR train network — Fushimi-Inari Station drops you right by the action. Renting a kimono makes the whole route feel extra fun.

Snack Hack: LAWSON stores nearby are clutch for affordable drinks and Japanese snack packs — budget-friendly and super easy.

Kyoto weather can be humid, so light layers help, and most shrines are free to enter! Bring cash for small purchases — not everywhere takes cards.
