Book this tour alone or include it in a custom trip
This private tour can be booked as a standalone day or included within a custom Japan itinerary, with hotels, transport, guides, cultural experiences, and local support arranged around your dates.
Fushimi Inari-Taisha (伏見稲荷大社) is the head of over 30,000 Inari shrines across Japan — dedicated to Inari, the Shinto deity of rice, foxes and prosperity. The thousands of vermillion torii gates that line the mountain paths behind the main shrine were donated by worshippers and businesses over centuries, each one an offering. The mountain takes two to three hours to climb in full. Most visitors turn back at the first saddle. Your guide knows where to stop.
The name Fushimi — 伏見 — means “underground water.” The district developed as one of Japan’s great sake-brewing centres because of the exceptional purity and softness of its spring water. On this private afternoon tour your local sake expert takes you through the shrine and the torii trail, then into the Fushimi brewery district for a private visit and a tasting of 18 sake varieties.
Half a day. Two of Kyoto’s most distinct experiences, side by side.
