I actually took a detour right before the Senbon Torii and hiked up the side road that is full of tombstones right up to the summit. Then I headed down to finish it. It is a great alternative since you avoid all the stairs up!
Smart! I usually come down this way... Not as crowded either. Thanks for leaving this tip, I hope others read it.
It's actually also a great tip for shopping in stores with no escalators. I saved my legs during a full day out in Akihabara.
Another top not notch video Andrew! If I was without the kids, I'd go for the top. With the kids... I think that's a no go :-) I've been to Kyoto a few times and have never been to Fushimi Inari Taisha, but thanks to your vid, I'll be sure to see it next time. Keep up the awesome work!
Ha! Ya, I hear that. Love your channel btw. Keep it up.
+Happy In Japan Thanks!
I’m visiting Kyoto now and heading to the shrine shortly. This video got me fired up. Well done video and thanks!!
why hasn't youtube made a "love" button yet? cause like is not strong enough for me! this video is awesome.
pro tip: try to get to fushimi inari before 8-9am. it gets craaaaazy busy and impossible to get pictures without bodies crowding it up.
I went to Kyoto in 2010 and somehow forgot to go here. Been kicking myself ever since. Going back to Japan in April and have been trying to decide whether to do a day trip to Kyoto.
Amazing video. Your videos are always so well done. Keep up the good work!
This is the place I'm most excited about visiting in Kyoto! I'm planning to go in the evening so it's quieter (and looks all pretty at sunset!).
Beautiful video. I've always wanted to visit Japan, and your videos just make me want to go so much more. The country looks so beautiful. I basically just save all of your videos to a playlist for future reference of where to visit.
Beautiful video, absolutely loved it. Thank you
Wow, what a great video!! Well done :D
I will definitely go to the top of the mountain, I can't wait to be there next month!!
Your videos are sooo nice! I mean I haven't even finished and I already loveeeeeeee it!
Nice editing and filming again !!! My bf envies your skills :)
I am young and enjoy exercise so I went to the top, and it was a nice hike, although much less crowded, few kids and seniors up there, also maybe more sparsely decorated. Still, worth going since that is probably your main stop that day.
Nice video. I like your description style.
Great video. And I love how you describe everything at the beginning with illustrations - it's very informative and it gives a broader image of things. Thank you!
+Georgie Porgie It's always hard to know if I'm giving too much info or showing graphics too quickly. So, thanks for the comment! ~Andrew
Really enjoyable video! Loved the time lapses.
Thank you Andrew!
+RealDutchLady Thanks!
Beautiful. As usual. This will be one of my mandatory stops in Kyoto
+Daniel Sáenz Agreed, everyone should go here.
Amazing video as always! The past two times I've been Fushimi Inari I went to the top and the next time I go I'll probably also go to the top. It is a spiritual process for me and sort of like completing the mission. I just can't go half way. lol.
I went in the summer... And it's a mountain... a climb... Went to the top and I'm soooo thankful for the vending machines with sports drinks. I still think it's worth visiting to the top, coming up a trail and down the other.
Hey, awesome video! It brought back so many memories of my trip to this beautiful shrine. I did the full tour and wasn't disappointed. :)
Glad it brought you back! That's one of the goals of these videos is to represent the location accurately and well. Full tour FTW!
What a nice view ! Thanks for the video
It may be one of the best views of Kyoto.
Damnnn this is perfectly shot!
Excellent work! Well done! Great editing and cinematography. I love your techniques with shallow depth of field in some areas where you high light the details. I also like your camera movements very professional.
Thanks!
Great I'll update my bucket list
Ive been here too. Thanks for the memories
i just discovered your channel few weeks ago .... i love your videos :3 great job
+Jose Reinoso Thanks Jose!
i love your videos!! amazing skills
Thanks a lot. Your videos are so helpful
You definitely are one of the greatest videographer on youtube, i really like how you pack this video, beautiful and very informative.
Maybe you could make a video about how you made your video, you know like "behind the scenes", i think a lot of people will like it lol.
Ya! This is a great idea. That's one of my goals for 2016 is to make a behind the scenes both trip/shoot planning, filming, research and scripting, and post production. It might be toward the end of the year but it will happen.
Anything specific you'd like to know about?
Sometime also I cannot decide whether to go all the way to the top of the mountain or not... because it would be a lot of work.
Whole mountain is not only good walking course for strengthening my legs and lower back
but also it is holy place where the deities living in the nature and humans can all be together as one.
So It is worth climbing up holy mountain to make me feel refreshed and renewed.
Fantastic video!
Fushimi Inari Taisha is in my Top 3 favourite places of Japan.
My two tips for visitors would be.
Be at the Yotsutsuji intersection for views of the sunset. Each time I've been the sunsets have been beautiful.
Visit early just after sunrise. This is the perfect time to get a selfie with the torii gates as there is hardly anyone around. And there is just something mystical about walking around the shrine grounds at this time of the day.
+Kari Haruka Wow! Nice tips. Thanks! I totally agree.
May i ask what is your top 2 and 1 ?
@@Sunny12610 Of course! My other 2 favourite spots are Matsushima Bay in Miyagi Prefecture and Yamadera in Yamagata Prefecture.
(The Tohoku Region is my favourite region in Japan)
Amazing video! Just subbed. Now I have to go and watch all your videos haha! :-)
I went up all the way. The nice thing is that the further up you go the quieter it gets. It just gives you a better chance to really enjoy the scenery. Definetly a must visit place in Kyoto!
+Nick's Life Very true, the bottom section can be a bit crowded if you're not there first thing in the morning or after sunset. The higher you hike the more you have the place to yourself. Thanks for the sub! Nice channel! Subbed you back. All the best.
Cool and Nice Video! I think that people who go to the Fushimi-Inari shrine should go to the top anyway. Because the whole mountain is the sacred area.
That looks like such a spiritual and inspirational place. I would definitely go all the way to the top when I will go there one day.
I hope you can get there!
***** Hopefully springtime next year. Need to practice my nihon ga more before I travel over.
謝謝分享在台灣收看，平安。
Nice video. Having been there going to the top felt less important to me having seen plenty of shrines by then but at least I can say I went to the top. The green tea ice cream at the 2nd shrine stop (With a view over the city) was pretty awesome.
I would travel all the way to the top for my first time just to know I've done it all.. Amazing video btw. :) Already forward to your next video.
For sure. Actually, the first two times I visited Fushimi Inari I was too lazy to go even to the Yotsutsuji Intersection :-/ I really missed out... Glad I've been back and done the whole thing since.
Next video is already done and scheduled. ^_^
I'd go all the way, for sure, probably a few times a week. Seems like great exercise :D
Thanks... What's that mean?
I would go all the way up the mountain several times as a form of exercise. What about my comment was unclear?
+DanzQueen sorry. Just lacked context. now I gotcha. ^\^
+DanzQueen sorry. Just lacked context. now I gotcha. ^\^
I would surely visit the top of the mountain if I had a chance to go there.
Beautiful place.
Beautiful place indeed. Thanks for the comment Ewa!
Wow! I just recently discovered you (I think maybe via gimmeabreakman) and I must say:
I am totally amazed. The quality, the editing, the graphics everything is just beautiful. Are you a professional filmmaker?
At the same time it is also really informative and you are a great host. But what amazed me the most was the atmosphere that you captured in your video.
It touched me really and the title Happy in Japan really suits your videos.
It is a refreshing new point of view of Japan. I think that the jvlogging community became really boring when you look at the "successful" jvloggers and I hope that youtuber like you will get a bigger audience! So please keep up your amazing work!
+UnArtig Thanks for the kind words! I went to school for photography and graphic design and have made a living for the past several years making all sorts of marketing materials... but not sure I would call myself a "professional filmmaker." I wouldn't know what to do on a real move set or anything. I think most of the difference between the top jvloggers you might be referring to and me is that they produce several videos each week. I'm always impressed how prolific they are while still maintaining a decent quality level. My videos takes between 7 to 12 full work days to make (planning, shooting, and editing all added up). I can see how it is difficult to produce pro-level content regularly unless you hire people to help you.
Anyway, thanks so much for the comment! Glad to meet you.
~Andrew
I never made it all the way to the top. But I do have a funny/embarrassing story:
I got all the way up to the Yotsutsuji Intersection, then decided to turn back around (I'm not in the best shape). So I went down what I thought was the exit...
It turns out it was a side path that went AROUND the mountain (or at least it felt like it), and I wound up in a suburb completely lost! I found my way back onto a path, with help from some locals, and climbed up the steepest path I had ever climbed in my life.
I eventually began to hear voices in the distance, and I began to pass people. I thought I was finally nearing the main shrine at the bottom (yes, I know I said I was climbing up, don't ask how I came to this conclusion, I don't even know now). With a final push, I made it back, sweaty and exhausted... back at Yotsutsuji Intersection...
Yeah, I went back to my hotel immediately afterward and played my Switch. My feet hurt and I had no energy left lol.
I'm glad I went, though. Seeing all of those small Shinto shrines sprinkled throughout the paths was utterly breathtaking. I had completely forgotten they were there (I've seen almost all of your videos), and it was an amazing surprise when I found them.
9/10, would visit again... after I get better shoes to climb in.
Beautiful!
:-)
Topnotch editing! Wow!
+Bernadette Bautista Thanks.
Visited there back in May this year and only made it to Yotsutsuji Intersection because it was way to hot already... but the view was well worth it. And we found a cute cat strolling between the graves :)
Thank you for your great video ;)
+juozas kasiulis ^_^
Another stunning video! The cooments and like/dislike ratio seems to agree with me as well. This is definitely on my "to visit" list for when I move to Japan next year.
+Minato Namikaze Thanks! Yes, I'm really grateful/surprised at completely positive response. Putting content on the Internet, I always expect some haters and dislikes, but so far so good (I'm sure I just jinxed it tho).
This was my absolute favourite place in Kyoto (possibly even Japan) although I'm kinda sad we didn't reach the top, it was getting darker and starting to rain before we even got halfway so we decided to turn back but if I ever go back I'm definitely hiking to the top!
+Cateaclysmic Ya, it's a tough trade off, because if you only have a few days in Kyoto it's hard to spend an extra few hours in one spot. It's a nice walk, but I wouldn't regret not going all the way to the top. My first two times to Fushimi Inari I didn't even go half-way up. :-P
Incredibly well done, absolutely loved it!!!
+Where's Stu Thanks! Love your videos too! Shame we never met up when you were in Japan.
+Where's Stu Also, crazy is that at this moment you and I have exactly the same sub count (not really, I'm 11sub behind you). Cheers to the 10.47k club!
***** What's also crazy is that I am temporarily back in Japan right now! (Until the end of March) :D
+Where's Stu If you're in Nagoya let me know! ATM no plans to go to Tokyo for me, sadly. :-/
***** Would be really cool if we could meet up! Though I'm currently on a very tight backpacker's budget :(
Went all the way to the top when I visited in November 2017!
God your videos are all so amazing! I loved that last time lapse shot of the city; keep up the great work. 👍 ⛩
+Glint On Glass Thanks!
Yes, I went to the top. It was worth it.
Same.
We thought there was gonna be a nice view at the summit...a little disappointed though.
Great vid!! So is it better to visit there in the evening for a less crowded visit and stay until darkness to take cool pictures??
Outstanding work! Love the camera angles and the color grade. Did you use a motorized slider for some of the shots?
+My Life Japan Good eye! Yep at 2:28. I don't use it much because it's a pain to set up so this is the only clip in the vid to use it. Sadly I no longer have the slider, but still have to motor which can pan when set on a tripod which is perfect for panning timelapses. It's called a Genie.
Damn I wish I could film footage half as good as this!
I went hakf way up since we had a super tight schedule, but if I had had the time, I would have gone all the way up
Go to the Top! does not take long to do and whens the next time your going too be there? really love this place, was one of the highlights for me from my time in Kyoto :)
Your videos are so beautiful, they always make me teary! I been using them to convince my boyfriend to visit places that he's not really interested in. We have a very tight schedule and he thinks that just one day in Kyoto will do, but I know that I need at least 2. He doesn't care much for Fushimi Inari Taisha, but after this vid, he'll HAVE to! Does it take all day to get to the top? More than half a day? Thank you!
Seeing these Shrines and Temples of other sects is all I need do. When I get to Japan I will be going most importantly to The Hall of the Great Vow for Kosen Rufu in Tokyo. And then see as many Culture, Community and Personal Community Centers as possible across Japan.
+TubaBuddha Awesome. I hadn't heard of this Hall before. Just looked it up. Hope you can get there someday! As always, great to hear from you. ~Andrew
+Happy In Japan IF I live long enough to inherit I will. It is one of the only paper Gohonzon that was made into a wooden object by the Soka Gakkai like at Temples. And since they excommunicated the entire organization, twice in 1991. I won't be making a pilgrimage to TaiSeki-ji unless the entire priesthood admits what it did and there is some kind of reconciliation. Look up the former Head Temple Sho Hondo that could seat 5000 at once. The outside and inside was amazing! It was said to be a modernist image of a Crane taking flight. The Crane is the symbol of the Nichiren Shoshu Priesthood. The then mad High Priest had it, and every other building the Soka Gakkai donated since the 50's destroyed.
Your videos are beautiful! Can you share a bit about the filming/editing technique/software/equipment used?
Sure thing. I use a Nikon D750 with a Blackbird Camera Stabilizer and edit in Adobe Premiere and After Effects.
Another amazing video!
I would definitely go to the very top of the mountain.
Do you do the animations yourself?
+VinnytotheK Thanks! Yes, I did everything in the video.
That's amazing! It's so well done, what program did you use for the animation?
I didn't go all the way to the top coz I was rushing to go to as many places as possible... Now I wish I took more time to enjoy this place.
How far up do you need to go to do the red arch wish cards?
I've visited 伏見稲荷大社 twice and I'd say that going to the top all depends on your plans. If you can make the time I would highly recommend going all the way to the top, you can get some great views, eat some great food along the way and plus doesn't it just feel good to reach the top of any mountain?
However if you have other activities planned in 京都 on the same day or your time in the city is short then it might be alright just snapping a few pics and then leaving.
always go to the top. love the camera work on that long shot in the gates
+See Gritti Thanks! That was a bear to stabilize.
Lol I have no doubt. A full glass of water all that way would be daunting. Way to go
+Happy In Japan You stabilized it in post?
+See Gritti I think we're both talking about the same clip (hyperlapse at 3:17 ?). That was actually a series of still photos taken in increments all the way through the tunnel, then stabilized in After Effects. Walk this long I wouldn't be able to use a handheld gimbal without getting a lot sway and drift. By using hi-res stills, It allowed my to stabilize in post easier and then crop the best 1920x1080 rectangle I could find.
Yep! I was wondering if you had tried to use a gimbal on it. seems like it would have been pretty rough to try it that way. Hi-res stills makes a lot more sense. :)
Alliteration
A fun way to commentate
Great video, man
+Gaijinaut Thanks! I was really struggling to make that section interesting when writing the script. That's the best I could come up with. Still not nearly as epic as some of V's lines in V for Vendetta.
Have to make it all the way to the top
いつもイラストが素敵で停止して観てしまいます！ 私の街京都を美しい映像で紹介して頂きありがとうございます！ 次も楽しみです!(^^)!
+京のネコ ありがとうございました！＾＿＾
Nice video and editing....what software do you use for editing your videos?
Thanks! Premiere Pro and After Effects.
Great looking video as always.
I have only gone once and we didn't go to the top. Actually we didn't have enough time to go. So, I would like to go to the top sometime.
Ya, my first two visits I didn't even get to the lookout. It's definitely a time investment to go all the way up if you're trying to see a lot of other hot spots in Kyoto on the same trip.
You saw the main part, that's what counts. :-) Hope it was a good trip!
+Happy In Japan Yeah it was nice, but so crowded.
Hi I am doing a Documentary and I would like to know if I could use 10 seconds of your footage (giving you credits of course) thanks
I completely hope to make it to the top of the mountain on March 31st, 2019
I wish to complete my entire journey in 4 hours
It is so hard to take pictures there with no people. Always have to be quick and ready when seeing a certain spot with no people to make a good picture happen
Hah I have been there too! One of the places in the rest stop has some delicious lemon ice cream. I went all the way to the top as well! It takes a while but it's totally fun! Did you go to the floating Tori? I assume you did. That place is awesome too.
+JunGull In Miyajima? Ya! Just wait until season 6... ^_^
いつ日本へ来たの？あなたが日本を離れる時、友達といっしょに行った「自転車、日本縦断の旅」も見て、感動しました！(‘ェ‘)
+miida21 去年の六月に戻りました＾＿＾
Beautiful video, it made me feel a nostalgia from my visit. I didn't make it all he way to the top when I went, I stopped at the rest stop midway. It was the day after I had climbed Mt Fuji to watch the sunrise, so I probably bit off more than I can chew. How was the food? And did that guy photobomb your time laps?
+Aaron V The soba was amazing (as you'd expect)! Ha ha! Ya, the guy totally photo-bombed me, but my twisted sense of humor thinks that sort of thing is funny so I included it. :-D
I agree, it was a great addition
Does it takes a long time to go all the way to the top? I was planning on doing Fushimi inari + Daigo ji + To ji temple on the same day... do you know is this possible??? =S
lol you could do this in a half day i would go rly early to fushimi inari
how are you getting steady shots while moving? are you using a rig? stabilizer?
+Marvin “GoPro Visions” Rivera Just walk really really smooth.
Or if that doesn't work then buy a stabilizer gimbal system. I use the Blackbird Camera Stabilizer.
Did u know dat this place is in the Carmen sandeigo theme song for Netflix?
you went to that place in the documentary
+soglf Right you are!
I would go all the way up but I'm also the type of person who would spend the whole day at one place to see it from sunrise to sunset.
+Miu - chan me too (at least until my timelapse is finished :-)
Hi, did u use a stabiliser for the video?
Yes, the Blackbird Camera Stabilizer.
Lol at 2:40 I wrote I need some Jordan's
いいね👍😊
3:09 Anyone knows where can I buy that bag? I need it in my life. 😭😭😭
Btw nice video! Going here on the 24th of Jan 2020. ⛩
a n t o n this was the closest i could find when it’s in the brown colour yukonbags.com/products/hinton-crazy-horse-leather-backpack?

伏見稲荷良いですね。
また日本に来てくださいお待ちしてます。😊

Oh yeah, I went to the top of the mountain.
日本人ですが、頂上があることは知りませんでした！今まで途中地点を頂上だと勘違いしてました(^_^;)次はぜひ頂上登までのぼりたいです！(^o^)
common mistakes everywhere
Nice editing and filming again !!! My bf envies your skills :)
+MaaikeInJapan Oh please, you guys always have sharp edits too. ^_^
