Fushimi Inari Taishas Prayer and Kagura Experience
Join us for a unique journey at Fushimi Inari Shrine, where ancient traditions come to life. In Japan, it's customary to offer prayers during significant life moments, seeking blessings for safety and health.
During this tour, participants will have their wishes acknowledged as we present their name, address, and company name at the grand altar for a personal prayer experience. Following this, enjoy an enchanting kagura performance featuring traditional dances by shrine maidens.
Explore the stunning sights of Fushimi Inari Shrine, home to the famous Senbon Torii, where thousands of vibrant red gates create a mesmerizing path up Inari Mountain. Established in 711, this shrine is the head of approximately 30,000 Inari shrines across Japan.
As you ascend, encounter numerous otsuka and fox statues, revered messengers of Inari, the deity of prosperity and household safety.
For individual prayers or group arrangements, please contact us.
