What's included in Kyoto Fushimi Inari Taisha Walking Tour with Audioguide
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
The Great Torii of Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto is a majestic symbol of the divine, standing tall and proud at the entrance of one of Japan's most iconic shrines. This towering vermilion gate marks the boundary between the mundane world and the sacred space of the shrine, dedicated to Inari, the god of rice and agriculture. Walking beneath its immense frame, visitors are reminded of the spiritual significance of the path ahead, one that is lined with thousands of smaller torii gates, leading up the mountain. The Great Torii is not only a stunning architectural feature but also a powerful gateway into Kyoto’s rich Shinto heritage.
The Divine Horse House, or "Uma-jinja," located within the Kamo Shrine complex in Kyoto, is a hidden gem filled with cultural and spiritual significance. This small but intriguing structure is dedicated to the sacred horses of the shrine, which were once seen as divine messengers. Historically, horses played an important role in Japanese religious ceremonies, often believed to carry prayers and wishes to the gods. Visiting this house offers a quiet, reflective moment in the heart of Kyoto, connecting visitors with an ancient tradition of reverence for animals in Japanese Shinto belief.
Kitano Temmangu Shrine Romon Gate
The Romon Main Gate, located at the entrance of the Nanzenji Temple in Kyoto, is a stunning example of traditional Japanese architecture. This grand, two-story gate, often referred to as a "double gate," is a symbol of the temple’s historical significance. Its intricate design, with a sweeping, elegant roof and carved wooden details, stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of the 13th century. As visitors pass through, it offers a powerful sense of entering a sacred space, setting the tone for the tranquility that lies within Nanzenji’s grounds.
