@_lisamward_'s Top Tips

"The best time to arrive at this top tourist attraction in the city is just before sunrise. Avoid the bustling crowds that will emerge later in the day for a more peaceful experience."

What do you love most about Inari Shrine?

"It's something completely unique and awe-inspiring. Walking through the colourful shrines with the rising sun breaking through the trees was the perfect way to start my day!"

Must pack items for Inari Shrine

"Comfortable walking shoes! There are many, many stairs to scale to the top of the trail so flip flops won't cut it."

Benefits of a tour guide for Inari Shrine

"There's an abundance of history to this attraction, as well as a couple of paths less trodden on by tourists, so a guide is brilliant for shedding light on these for a more enriching visit."

Favourite time of year to visit Inari Shrine

"Late autumn - Kyoto is very busy, but late autumn is slightly more manageable, and it makes for a more comfortable walk up all the thousands of stairs."

What is something special to do?

"If you can, go hiking! The trails are well kept and the views are gorgeous. There are many options to choose from based on the duration, difficulty, and location."

Must pack items for Hong Kong
