    Why visit

    No visit to Japan is complete without a trip to the photogenic city of Kyoto, where you could easily spend a week and not run out of subjects for your camera. And no visit to Kyoto should be completed without seeing the Fushimi Inari-taisha shrine.

    Located in Kyoto's Fushimi Ward, the shrine sits at the base of Inariyama, a mountain that reaches 233 metres above sea level. Dating back to 711 A.D., the shrine has enjoyed imperial patronage since the ninth century and now includes several main buildings, two avenues of red torii and trails extending four kilometres up the mountain to many smaller shrines. It takes approximately two hours to climb to the top.
