伏見稲荷大社は京都で最も象徴的な社で、千本鳥居 — 神聖な稲荷山(233m)を縫って登る一万基を超える朱の鳥居のトンネル — で知られる。道は竹林と、稲・農・商売繁盛の神である稲荷を祀る末社を抜けて登る。稲荷の使いであるキツネの像が山じゅうに現れる。
社は24時間参拝可・無料で、京都で最も訪れる者の多い場所だ。鳥居のトンネルは山頂まで4km続き、全行程の往復には2〜3時間を要する。
What this page is actually for
Fushimi Inari is free, open with no gate to close, and the single most photographed place in Japan. You do not need us to find it, and you do not need another description of the tunnel of gates. The one decision worth making in advance is how far up the mountain you intend to go, because the crowd thins with altitude and effort rather than with the hour — that is a property of the walk, not a tip we are claiming to have discovered.
The rest of what we can add is geographic. Southern Kyoto is thick with places nobody queues for, and we keep a catalogue of them with coordinates. Those are below.
Nobody else is going here

混雑回避のコツ
本殿一帯は毎日9:00〜17:00が非常に混む。下の鳥居のトンネルは10:00〜16:00が満員。最初の15分の鳥居を過ぎて進めば人は9割減る。桜(4月上旬)、GW(4月末〜5月上旬)、紅葉の週末(11月)は避けたい。夜間は静かだが上の道には懐中電灯を。
