I had the pleasure of exploring Fushimi Inari with Saki and it was a great experience.
It was at night so the place was less crowded and with very beautiful sights, and I could learn a lot about the shrine and Shintoism in general. I would totally recommend !

This private tour was the perfect way to see Fushimi Inari Taishia! The night time option gave peace and beauty with light and dark playing amongst the Thousands of Torii Gates. While less crowded, there were still many people visiting around 7:00 pm, so be prepared to wait patiently both for others and yourself to take pictures at key points. It’s part of the experience, but from what I can tell, it is much more crowded and intense during daytime hours.

Tomoko san provided a friendly, unique and detailed perspective to each corner of our walk. She highlighted things I would have absolutely looked over, provided personal and historical insight and is a great photographer for this solo traveler to capture those important memories. I was so grateful and appreciative of her approach and kindness. I would absolutely suggest this tour. I would even take it again with family or friends to see more around hidden corners.

Junko was an absolutely fantastic guide! Friendly and knowledgeable. Touring the shrine in the evening was beautiful. Highly recommend!

Junko was our tour leader last night and she was nothing short of wonderful!! We started right on time and she led us through a wonderful, relaxing tour of the Fushimi Inari Shrine. She was so modest, saying that her English wasn’t very good, when really she was fantastic! She handled some very challenging questions from our group so well, and when I mentioned that I was familiar with the Meiji Shrine in Tokyo, she adjusted some of what she shared to highlight and compare/contrast with what I already knew. It shows that she truly is knowledgeable and fluent in the shrines and traditions, since she was able to customize what she shared on the fly. I was very, very impressed! Thank you so much, Junko!!
