SOTA AND HUGO were amazing they showed me and my dad around counting foxes and learning much about the shrine. It's a lot of walking so be careful.
Great tour guide and very knowledgeable about the history of the area. It wasn’t busy when we went either which made it even better. Would highly recommend this tour to other people visiting!

We met these young guides in front of Fushimi Inari Temple and they offered to take us around. They gave us a lot of information on the temple’s history and customs and were also very good in entering our small and energetic kids! I would recommend them!
These 3 guys accompanied us on an evening Fushimi Inari tour with enthusiasm, competence and patience, being with us our two small children. We recommend them and wish them a long and successful career as guides! Good!
