Don't miss this HIDDEN trail near Fushimi Inari

Today, we get up really early to beat the crowds to Fushimi Inari, Kyoto's beautiful gated mountain. But that's not the only thing we're doing today! There's a secret that is right next to this mountain, hidden beyond a bathroom...

Thousands of beautiful red tori gates line this mountain. You can donate money to have a tori gate placed on the mountain, as has been the tradition for hundreds of years. The main path has around 1,000 gates placed on it of various sizes. It takes a few hours to hike up and down the mountain, and there are numerous rest stops along the way - including the mountain's best viewpoint over Kyoto! Be prepared for a LOT of stairs if you do the full route.

Afterwards, you may wish to visit Fushimi Inari's hidden bamboo grove! We were thrilled to have the bamboo forest completely to ourselves (well, we shared it with a million mosquitoes). Since it was a breezy day, we were able to hear the sound of the bamboo trunks clicking against one another. The sound was truly glorious! We share exactly what path to follow to get to the secret bamboo grove (but shh, let's keep it our secret!).
