We start leaving from hostel around 7am from hostel and arrive here around 8am in the morning, it’s too early morning i know for a relaxing trip. but due to the fame of this place if you visit this place at noon there will be a lot of tourist and for me it will slightly kill the excitement offered by this place.

The Fushimi-inari Shrine is particularly impressive. It has thousands of orange-red shrine gates (known as torii) that form a 2.5-mile (4-kilometer) path, which ends at the top of Mount Inari-san overlooking the grounds. I really wasn‘t expecting so many of them! They form covered trails up the mountain and one can walk for hours under the enchanting roof. Each gate has a black inscription written on it, and that‘s the name of the company who donated it to the shrine. Inari is not only the god of rice but also the patron of business and having a Torii gate here is believed to bring good fortune. We even spotted a couple of inscriptions in Latin letters! Also, the entrance is free.
