Located in Southern Kyoto, the Fushimi Inari Shrine is one of Kyoto’s most important Shinto shrines and one of the city’s most popular tourist destinations. Famous for its countless vermilion torii gates that weave their way up the hillside creating a vibrant orange-tunnelled pathway, it’s really a sight that needs to be seen in person to be fully appreciated. The streets leading up to the shrine are dotted with local restaurants serving an array of traditional foods, the most common being inari sushi and kitsune udon ("fox udon"), the unofficial mascot cuisine. If you’re looking to stay somewhere modern, and comfortable close to the shrine, consider one of these five contemporary hotel hotels.
