This castle was originally constructed by Hideyoshi and later rebuilt by Ieyasu. Following the reconstruction of Fushimi Castle, peach trees were planted during the Genroku era, leading to the area being named Momoyama. Eventually, Fushimi Castle became known as Momoyama Castle or Fushimi Momoyama Castle.

-Navigate a hidden trail to Fushimi Inari Shrine.
Instead of using the Fushi-inari station, we initiate the tour from Tofukuji station to enter the Fushi-inari shrine from the rear of the main entrance.

-Uncover a concealed bamboo grove.
We will encounter a pristine bamboo grove and a tiny Inari shrine kept away from the sight of regular tourists. Maneuvering through the main entrance of Fushimi Inari can be challenging due to the crowd. However, our pathway through the hills will grant you a unique vantage point to see Fushimi Inari, distant from the masses.

-Discover urban areas after enjoying a magnificent scenic view from Fushimi Inari’s peaks.
From this point forth, our exploration will shift towards tourist sectors en route to the mountain’s apex. The actual tour routes may fluctuate but we will conclude near the vicinity of the main shrine.

• 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.
• As the ground can be slippery, you need to come wearing shoes with good grip.
• There may be mosquitoes and bugs as the group will hike in the mountain, so we strongly recommend to wear long sleeve shirt and long pants.
• The itinerary for this tour includes some locations that are not accessible by a wheelchair or stroller.
• Summer in Japan is very hot and humid, so we recommend that you bring water and wear a hat to prevent heat stroke.
