mountain tour

About 10,000 torii gates at Fushimi Inari Taisha continue to the summit of Mt. Inari.

Touring all the routes to the summit is called “mountain tour”.

If you go around the mountain slowly, it will take about 3 hours.

When you climb near the summit, you can see the wonderful cityscape of Kyoto.

Mountain tour is also popular with foreigners, and on weekdays there are more foreign tourists than Japanese.

Omokaru Stone

After passing through the Senbon Torii gate, you will find “Omokaru Stone”.

Two lanterns are lined up, and “Omokaru Stones” are placed on top of the lanterns.

After thinking about your wishes in front of the lantern, lift the stone.

When you lift a stone, if you feel that the stone is lighter than you imagined, your wish will come true, and if you feel that the stone is heavier than you imagined, your wish will not come true.
