Fushimi Inari-taisha is a Shinto Shrine dating from 711 AD. It is most famous for its stunning hiking trails that wind up the sacred Mount Inari, which are lined with thousands of vermilion torii gates. We visited the Shrine and then took the hike to the summit. There are more than 12,000 steps to reach the summit so it is a challenge. We took the challenge and were happy that we did. Many people turned around as it was a very hot and humid day. Our clothes were soaked by the time we finished our hike.
