    Many visitors come to Araki Shrine to pray for love, strong relationships, and general well-being, making it a meaningful stop for couples or those seeking guidance.
  • Located along the famous Fushimi Inari Shrine trail, Yotsuji (Four-Way Crossroad) is a must-visit viewpoint where travelers can take a break and admire one of Kyoto’s most scenic panoramas. As you ascend through the iconic vermillion torii gates, this peaceful rest stop offers breathtaking views of Kyoto city below.
  • Kumataka Shrine is a secluded and mystical site believed to be a place of strong spiritual energy. This lesser-known shrine is a peaceful retreat away from the busy torii gate paths, offering a unique glimpse into the deeper, more mystical side of Mount Inari.
  • Located within the Fushimi Inari Shrine complex, Nosatsusho is a special place where visitors can obtain sacred ofuda (amulets), omamori (charms), and goshuin (shrine stamps). This is the heart of the shrine’s spiritual blessings, offering various protective items connected to the god Inari, known for bringing prosperity, success, and safety.
  • One of Japan’s most iconic sights, Senbon Torii (literally "Thousand Torii Gates") is the mesmerizing pathway at Fushimi Inari Shrine, where thousands of vivid vermillion torii gates create a mystical tunnel leading up Mount Inari. This breathtaking corridor is a symbol of prosperity and devotion, as each torii gate was donated by individuals and businesses seeking blessings from the god Inari. (pass by)
  • The Main Shrine (or Hon-den) serves as a place for worship. While the shrine’s famous Senbon Torii gates and fox statues steal the spotlight, the Main Shrine offers a quieter, more intimate setting where visitors can connect deeply with the spiritual essence of the shrine.
