Stop At: Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine, 68 Fukakusa Yabunouchicho, Fushimi, Kyoto 612-0882 Kyoto Prefecture

The Fushimi Inari Shrine is so more than its famous tunnels of vermillion-red torii gates. Most people are satisfied by a scenic view of it. But your guide will show you deeper.

You will see how politics changes the way people worship, how people struggle to strike a balance between ritual and spontaneity, and how Indians, Koreans, and Americans have shaped the Inari faith. Once you've been on this hike, you'll never see shrines and temples the same way again. You'll be primed to find more hidden symbols, practices, and stories everywhere.

Come see a Fushimi Inari-taisha that everyone else has been missing out on, and leave seeing Buddhism and Shintoism in a whole new light!
