Hi everyone! I had to re-upload this video to fix a editing mistake. I'm so sorry that the comments from the previous upload were lost due to this 🙇💦 A huge thank you to @Cerasius, @rank1839, @neeta4629, and @rmcalm6392 for commenting! I read every single one of them. Thank you so much! 🙏
Visit of Fushimi Inari was one of the highlights of my trip to Japan. Made the full route and enjoyed the serene atmosphere at the summit with no stress. The energy of this place is amazing. Planning to revisit it on my second trip next summer and your video gave me a good idea to go there in the evening to see it in a different light.
New subscriber here, great video! I am visiting Japan for the first time later this year in October-November, and will be in Kyoto for a few days. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your video, its a great help since I will go to Kyoto in February please also make videos guide for Higashiyama Kiyomizudera to Yasaka, Ginkakuji to Eikando, Arashiyama, Gion and central Kyoto, also surrounding Kyoto like Uji, Nara, or Ohara Thank you
Thank you for the video. I'm planning di visit Kyoto this coming April and I was confused about how to get around Fishimi Inari so thank you very much: your video is really helpful 🙂
Thank you for the tips😊
Thankyou great info & also helpful that you added when you visited ,and costs.
All your information is very helpful.
please post more I’m visiting in May26
Is it worth visiting if one cannot walk very far? Any comments on accessibility in general?
We have seen fushimi inari in summer 2023, for our first Japan trip we have gone at 6 am beautiful and quiet at that hour😊
Personally, as I take many photographs when I travel, if I know that the place gets crowded, I get up at sunrise, which is the best time to take photographs and avoid crowds.
Thank you so much for all these tips! The recommended routes were especially helpful for me, since I'm planning to go with my parents (who are senior citizens) so it gave me a good idea of how long it will take and which route to select so they don't get as tired 😊
Fantastic video with just the right level of detail and local knowledge.
Great video! Me and my husband are going to Japan for the first time at the end of March and we'll be in kyoto for 4 days. I hope to see more of your videos by the time we get there😊
An idea for a future video: is it weird if tourists rent kimonos for a day and wear them around the city? Do you get strange looks from people and other tourists? 😅 me and especially my husband are pretty self conscious and wouldn't wanna be THAT kind of tourists.
Thank you for your tips
I am loving your channel!
Arigato gozaimasu for the video and all your other videos. I watch every of your videos before visiting Kyoto this coming few weeks.
Thanks for showing and recommendation, will try out Nishimura-Tei for inari sushi.
I love learning a little bit of Japanese history before I visit Thank you. Your videos are very good.
I went there last year. Heard that it's a hard walk, so I was a bit nervous about it since I'm not in the best shape… and after visiting it, I was very confused that it was so easy. The reason? I only took route 1 even though I wanted to take route 3! I took a wrong turn and didn't realize until after I had left Japan and seen some map online… and yes, I did do research beforehand, but messed up anyway. Gotta go back one day to see the entire mountain, but on the bright side, hopefully I'll be in better shape by then and can enjoy the sights more than I would've the first time.
Thank you! Such a helpful video with all the ins and outs of visiting. It's great to have genuine advice from a local.
