- This is how we avoided he crowds at the famous torii gate walkway in Kyoto🙌
This place, called Fushimi Inari Taisha, has been all over social media lately, and it's of course a really cool spot. Sadly, however, it's hard to appreciate the beauty and tranquility with thousands of other people around⛩
There are as many as 10,000 Shinto torii gates here and the full loop takes 1-2 hours to complete👣
Save this for your future Japan trip or share it with someone who's going🙌

The irony of tourists whining about how much of a shame it is that such a spiritual place has become so touristy got me like 😂😂😂
Dont forget the Ironly Plus point for posting it on social media. 😂
Just another example of them wanting it for themselves and nobody else.
How mad would they be if it was restricted to tourists.
It's so much worse. They're making trash "influencer" videos and being disrespectful.
And the shrines dont mind as they mostly survive on visitor donations so more people=shrine stays
"You're not stuck in traffic. You ARE traffic."
“It’s a shame this place is so touristy” says one of the many tourists
We love Pick Me TH-camrs.
Was literally about to comment that hahahah
LOL only when it benefits them
I know, he is a tourist too. I hate when o hear these wannabe influencers make comments as if they’re the only ones who have the right to be there.
Eh I get what he’s trying to say. A lot of people, myself included, want to feel immersed in a different place when we travel. When you visit somewhere really cool and ancient and spiritually significant like this, there is a yearning for when it was more untapped and in its original form. If you could only be a fly on the wall witnessing this place in its hay day, without the sheer amount of tourists overpowering the natural essence of the place.
But, there are ways to get that experience - you just need to visit places that aren’t popular or as frequented, and maybe other countries as well. Also yes there is a terrible irony about creating content meant to bring attention to places and complaining about the tourism 😂
“It’s a shame this spiritual place has become so touristy…” said the tourist.
LOL. I thought the exact same thing.
Yeah and the shrines survive off of donations by visitors so they want people to come and experience the place
Absolutely pretentious guy
the irony
Spiritual places are meant to be visited
Most Shinto shrines are open 24/7.
Kyoto sunrise is at 4:45AM.
Get to it.
Trains usually start 5am

@@lxviusI feel like walking alone in a foreign country at 4:00 am is a bad idea
@@confused_shark2537Then stay home scared?
Saddest part is, in modern day the only reason people would want to avoid the crowds is to take that perfect instagram picture. Not to actually enjoy tranquility or the moment.
Exactly
Some can do both like myself. I’ve been a photographer way before IG. Why should I stop taking and posting photos because someone is online mad at people taking photos? LoL. I still find time to enjoy where I visit.
speak for yafelf
Why not both? I like walking in nice looking quiet natural areas famous or otherwise. I like pretty photos to capture memories and feel proud of getting a good shot
Personally, I miss the days of tourism without social media. Phone cameras were hideous so you had to have the expensive DSLR cameras.
I thought it was a video on Shinto etiquette, such as "Do not walk in the center of the torii gate," "Take off your hat and bow in front of the gate," but it was a tourist tip.😅
exactly! I saw a foreigner don't follow manners in shrine.😢
because god is walking in center.so we walking edge.
@@蛇子is that true?
Ordinarily, you bow when you pass under a Torill gate, but when there are 5,725 of them in a row...
Also, you can go in the middle of the night. It’s deserted and quite spooky
Word I would use is mystical. Especially with the night lights.
i did this and came across a wild pig 😂 was terrifying
I'm planning to do this before I leave Kyoto, since I'm staying so close I don't have to stress about trains not running xD
Have you seen the black cat?
Went near the evening. Sun had fully set by the time we were headed down. A little spooky, but worst park had to be the mosquitoes. Ugh...
It's a shame that this spiritual place has become so touristy
*says the tourist*
*Complains about excessive tourism*
*Walks in the center of the torii*
**"This spiritual place has become so touristy!"**
I went there last month. I strongly recommend you go to this place early in the morning if possible. It’s peaceful and quiet. Can you hear birds chirping, cats chilling, leaves rustling. You’ll understand why it is a spiritual place.
yes true , i went at 4.00am was perfect and beautiful
How does 1 hear a cat chill please..?!?
Just visited, strongly recommend going at night. It’s beautiful with lights and absolutely deserted
Same, went their in April and there were only a handful of people around when we went there around 8 or 9 pm. The vibe was absolutely mystical
Go during the night, they have it lit up in a spectacular way, and you should do the whole trail. It is also basically empty and the cats interact then as well.
I did that too. In the lower parts were wild pigs with their young ones grunting in the dark.
Don't forget theres a hidden bamboo forest trail off the main trail that rivals arashiyama except no one is ever in it. I don't know how to find it, just wander into the woods about a third of the way up.
Need more details on this..
there’s a hiking trail up there. If you really don’t care about the touristy spots you would just hike up the trail as many locals do. but just be honest and admit you are a tourist and can’t miss out on the imaginary clout you gain from posing at a landmark
Of course they care about visiting all of the touristy hot spots! Where else are they going to be able to do their very cheesy smiles and cringy worthy posses?
“We thought we were early waking up at 7 am!”
7am being the literal average wake up time for people in japan

Is that a tourist saying it's unfortunate that so touristy??
We went at 2pm and as long as you keep waking, it gets less and less busy.
whines about tourism in and spiritual place while SPRINTING TO THE TOP
I thought they were going to give some boring advice such as telling tourists not to just take pictures of what's written on each gate's "column", but to rather take pictures of the whose scene, more like a panoramic view, since what is written on them is just the name of the company that made a donation to the place and not a sacred name or prayer. But, wow, even that would have been more helpful and interesting that the actual content of the video. 🤷🏻♀️
Friends and I went down an off-beaten path when we started making our way back to the bottom of the shrine/mountain, and it was probably the most peaceful part of the adventure. There was no one else around, and the stairs we were trekking down were rough. We eventually ended up in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by bamboo trees, and when we reached the bottom of the hill, we came across a small village area that had no one else around. It was honestly kind of creepy at first, but after a little bit we ended back up at the Inari station. It was a very interesting experience. Definitely wanna come back and do this again at a different time!
I think I know the route you're talking about! My family and I wandered onto a separate path away from the tori gates and just kept following the path on our walk to the top. It ended up being quite a detour, but it was also very, very peaceful because everyone else walks the normal way up. There were a lot of good opportunities for taking pics amongst the bamboo with no one else around, despite how busy the mountain actually is. I remember when we reached the top the sun was starting to set, and then we walked back down as it got dark, we must have spent hours taking pics. Such a pretty area.
the shame is on you by running in a temple. Show some respect. Also, respect the other people who you just run through

You all are complaining about how the tourist is complaining about the lost of spirituality when literally the writing on the Torii gates are the names of companies that bought and sponsored it
You're the one who's complaining of an unfactual idea that tourist is complaining about the lost of spirituality of that place given the fact that he's actually the one who had lost his own's spirituality because that Torii gates isn't the place where spirituality is. Rather, it's on the people who visited that place for spirituality.
I got there at around 1:30pm
It was busy at the bottom, but if you hike up 20-30mins it’s pretty empty. There are also many smaller prayer sites as you ascend.
yes exactly. I think its always like that. It doesn't matter when you go, its never crowded past the first few rest areas.
or…. come there early.
i went there at 6am, no crowds ✨
I am from Kyoto and i can literally see Inari mountain everyday from my bedroom window. I know it's secret places more than anyone.
Jup, that is so true. The higher you geht, the fewer people you'll see. So if you want good pictures, go higher 👌
Me and a friend arrived there quite late in february. It was getting darker and darker and less and less people were there. When we were going back there were like 0 people, and it was so beautifully spooky at that time too; so I can also highly recommend visiting at later hours!
Do it at night. It's magical and mostly empty. I wouldn't recommend doing a super touristy destination empty at night really anywhere but Japan. Japan is ridiculously safe though so you can do stuff like that. Truly amazing.
As a tourist posting this you are part of your proclaimed touristy problem
"its a shame this place has become so touristy" said by the most generic white tourists that are contributing to this statement lmao
Lmao I can guarantee you wouldn't be commenting on their race if they were anything but white. Gtf0 with your safe edgy bs
OMG! Did the walk up the Mountain! Beautiful!! We arrived about 9:30 local and, yeah, was kinda busy. It was summer, so by the time we got to the top at 10:30-11, we were hot and kinda sweaty. Got some drinks and ice cream to cool back down. Viewing many of the family shrines was moving and calming. The walk down the back side was nice and shady. A “must do” when visiting Kyoto!! Thx!
Lmao, I arrived there at around 11 AM. Full of tourists at the entrance, like it was difficult to even walk.
Up the mountain there was literally no one
That moment when you read your comments and realized that your voice overs were poorly scripted. Sheesh, the top comments are brutal.
Step 1: Do NOT film, under no circumstances.
It's incredibly rude and basically desecrating the holy site.
If it ain't a rule, then it's allowed.
In Japan right now! This would be helpful.. BUT THE DANG WIFI WOBT WORK SO I CANT WATCH IT 😭
I hate this place has been so thirsty. You are literally a tourist.
Weird. From what I remember, only the God of said shrine is supposed to walk in the center
I was there when it opened at 6am. By the time I was headed down from the temple the hoards of bus people were headed up. I took a taxi to the gate.
Its sad to see spiritual places become so touristy, says a tourist
Complains about site becoming touristy, visits as a tourist. I mean, if you wanna respect the culture and spiritual significance, DONT GO - or - turn off your darn phones. It’s like going to Rome into one of the old but still active churches where locals attend and being an obnoxious influencer when people are trying to have mass or worship. STOP.
It's not worth going imo. Nara is worth it not only because of the deer, but especially because of the largest wooden building in the world, Tōdai-ji Temple
Im in ph but know how to say everything look
きれいですか
だからここは涼しいんです。うわー、このビデオが好きです。
serenity is lost with dozens of cheesy American tourist with selfie sticks get loud with their filming.
There is an even more touristy spiritual place in Arabia… Mecca
Btw, Japanese temples are different to church. They need people to visit if you understand the background of Japanese religions and funding. If no one visits the God will disappear aka die.
Next time name the damn place that you are at/talking about...
Cringe posting this on TH-cam. Shameful
Protips: this temple, the fushimi Inari, is one of the rare temple open 24/24, so you should go in the evening! The main path are lighted, ambiance is amazing and it's no packed at all.
welp. because everybody thought the same of getting there early lol
“It’s kinda a shame” made me die
Now they know what to do. Soon the top will be as packed and that's on you! Tourist!
Why is it a shame that a spiritual place has 'become touristy'? Like, it doesn't make sense. Shouldn't people go to spiritual places?
which is why i will not visit tokyo or kyoto. i'm sick of having people everywhere i want to treasure the japanese countrysides, small cities and villages that treasure the spirit of japan.
大きな神社は昔から観光地だからね、しゃーなし。
江戸時代には既にお伊勢参りとか流行ってたし。
Complaining about a spiritual place being overrun by tourists 😂 do you even know about the Shinto deity they worship there?
Way to avoid the crowds = Skip this shrine or spend 2+ hours getting to the top. I’ll skip it. Only got 3 days there. Not got the time to waste 😅
The only thing worse than a tourist that complains about other tourists..is a tourist that complains AND makes a low effort videos to profit from it 💀
But you missed out on the endless tourists from a country close by who would clog the walkways by having stop and take endless inane selfies - and then there’s the people who bring their kids in a pram and discover there are steps . . .
Wait. I thought the reason no one walk up there is because there are abandoned small temples up there. Those aren’t really God but on their way to be God who are often evil spirits. 😅
Wow, quintessential quintuplets really accurately drew this area
We went at 8 in the evening and it was deserted.
That’s a shame lol the locals the young ones I’m sure the elder been there but the young ones prob stuck at home in a pc 🤦🏾♂️
Thought this place was familiar and realised its in like 100 different animes
A lot of the local high school coaches make their athletes run all the way up and down that mountain for training. And Japanese people do go there, but they visit for specific holidays and events. Japanese religions don’t require weekly worship. Going there with no reason on random days is like going to a Christmas Mass in July- you wouldn’t.
Look at you complaining about you being the problem
I'm sorry what the story behind the now crowds thing??...
So if you think that's so spiritual why are you playing that goofy music?
I went last week and personally think this place is overrated. It's so popular that it's overflowed with visitors
A tourist posting his travels on IG at one of the most touristy places is complaining that it gotten so touristy …
I have a honest question. I plan on moving to Japan and i own a dog, is it ok to walk him in outdoor places like this? Or is it disrespectful?
This is 100% true. At the halfway point, almost all of the tourists head back down. My husband and I climbed to the top of Fushimi Inari and got a peaceful, gorgeous view of Kyoto with maybe four other people we saw. This is when you really take all the pictures you want of the thousand gates
I remember going to the top with my friend when I last visited. It feels great near the summit and as mentioned, you do get some brilliant photos that you can look back on fondly.
Not sure when it'll happen yet but looking forward to my next trip over (as long as things line up).
How far is the walk all the way to top if I may ask? Thank you 😊
@@hersheyhidalgo7201 well, I suppose that depends how in shape you are. For My husband and I I want you to say it took roughly 40 minutes. The mid point you reach in about less than 20 minutes, but to the top it’s another 20 to climb. But to be fair we were stopping lots to take pictures and my husband is not in the best shape. However you also don’t want to be sprinting to the top; take it nice and easy and enjoy the view
I love Japan ❤ my dream destination
same tho
You’re making a video about a tourist spot, and saying it’s starting to feel touristy? Geniuses
Spiritual place with a shop every 50mts
Its a shame it has become so touristy says a tourist posting it online......
"its quite a walk-"
Europeans: you said walk?
I would tell you, don't go to the top if you are a tourist. there is not much to see there. I thought I could get a panoramic view when I reached the top but no. there are too many overgrown tree branches that I can't see shit. you should probably reach the area where they sell tea and stuff if you want to have a better view of kyoto.
Made the first train 2 days ago, and while it was dark, by the time I reached the crossroads, it was sunrise.
I recognize this place from an anime.
The same place that teaches that America started WW2. Ugh. Smdh.
Bulldust. You didn't go there to "soak in the serenity."
How long would it take a relatively slow older person to get to the top?
Anyone know what the crowds are like in mid late afternoon? EVER blog post says get there super early, so I imagine lots of people ARE getting there early at this point
Even if u arrive ať 2 pm. And you go on top. There will be like Very few pll
*Its a shame how it got so "touristy" ? Bro you are literally a tourist and part of the problem!*
Overrated place , soooo many other nice places around
"What you don't see online..." proceeds to show it online
Me and my group arrived at around 4:50 am and it was very quiet and not crowded.
Because 730am isn't early, tf? Try 530 at the latest
The guy says it's a shape how much tourists go there and then he acts exactly like a tourist and doesn't show any respect for the site
Unfortunately there's nothing at the top though. Not even a place to sit.
I went at night and there were very few people. I had to crawl to the top though since it's very long
We woke up at 5:30 and got there around 6:15 AM. It was a nice walk up to the shrine at the top of the mountain without having to walk through people's self designated photoshoots lol
what is this place called again? is it torii gates?
Yes can you imagine how the Japanese people feel 🤔
Tatsächlich gibt es noch einen kleinen Pfad der irgendwo abzweigt und auf dem wirklich niemand mehr ist
Da sind keine roten Tore mehr, und alle schreine sind mit Moos überwachsen
War sehr schön, aber man muss gut wandern können
