Perfect guide makes everything great!!! - I was a little worried about whether I could meet up with the guide at the station, but that wasn't a problem because our guide Yusuke found us no problem! His English was perfect (and I mean native fluent), and was passionate about Japan. It was a short time, but he told us a lot we never knew about, and answered a lot more we were curious about!

10/10 tour!! - Exploring Fushimi Inari Shrine at night was MAGICAL. The torii gates were stunning, and the quietness made it even better. The guide Yusuke was friendly and gave great tips for my trip.

BEAUTIFUL GREAT TOUR - The view of the fushimi inari were STUNNING! We went at night with Yusuke and I got to see how much dedication the people hundreds of years ago put into making these toriis. The timing also made it so that there we rent many tourists as well.

Fushimi Inari at Night - Exploring Fushimi Inari Shrine in the evening was an amazing idea. The torii gates looked even more magical under the soft lighting, and it was so much quieter than during the day. The guide was knowledgeable and gave great insights about the shrine. Perfect for a quick but meaningful evening activity!

What a night - This evening tour of Fushimi Inari Shrine was truly unforgettable. We got to enjoy the beauty of the torii gates without the usual crowds, which made the experience feel much more peaceful. Yusuke was a fantastic guide and shared fascinating stories about the shrine, as well as helpful tips for the rest of our time in Japan. The timing was spot-on, letting us avoid both the heat and the crowds, which made for a very relaxing stroll. If you’re looking for a laid-back yet memorable way to explore Kyoto, this tour is definitely worth it.

Not to be missed! - Fushimi Inari was very beautiful on a cold January night! We did not know where to find this path lined with several Torii gates, but our guide, Yusuke, carefully guided us. Although we climbed the mountain path, the natural scenery and atmosphere were fantastic and never boring. I also enjoyed the facts and stories about the shrine that Yusuke told us while we were climbing. I thought if you came to Japan, you should definitely come here! With his guide again, I would like to visit next time in other seasons!

Great tour of the infamous Fushimi Inari - Such a special experience! We were able to trek the "Thousand Torii Gates" and experience snippets of the Shinto religion. I've heard that the Fushimi Inari is a very famous and busy tourist spot which often gets extremely crowded. However, this tour allows us to avoid the extreme crowd by visiting in the evening, when it is not as busy. Yusuke was a great guide, and I was able to ask many questions about the shrine and the Shinto religion, most of which he answered with ease. I would definitely recommend this tour if you are considering visiting Fushimi Inari!
