In the dark of night, completely empty, we explore the gates of Kyoto's Fushimi inari Shrine. While its famously said to have 10,000 torii gates that wind up the mountain, the real number is north of 30,000! And we climb through them to the top of the mountain in the dark!

If you catch the blast from the past, you get bonus points! Took me 15 years, but I held to my promise! How is everyone doing today? Someone from the Notification Squad is winning a prize on this one! PS... There is actually a whole second video to this night adventure! There was so much footage, I had to cut it in two lol It will be going up for the Full Adventurers over on Patreon along with the rest of the behind the scenes!

@auralynn3862 3 года назад

@@ByyakoKitsune69 "Kitsune" just means "fox". There's no special meaning to it at all. Foxes are Inari-sama's messengers. All foxes. It's believed by some that all foxes are *bewitching foxes*, yōko, 妖狐, "kitsune" to Westerners. So depending on your school of belief? That *was* a yōko.

@dominikdollinger150 3 года назад

We visited Fushimi Inari in the evening last year. It was not completely empty, but not many peolpe were there. It's really beatiful when you have this place for yourself. Like something out of a movie. Also, we saw a boar just a few meters away from the path, so be careful! And lots of giant spider nets around the lights.

My first trip to japan back in 2017. I made the choice to go at night instead of the day for various reasons and I can't imagine doing it again any other way. The experience during the evening/night is so surreal and breathtaking

@naif-4462 3 года назад

Ahh, this brings me memories of my trip to Japan. I visited Fushimi Inari shrine at night around 8 pm, and there were barely 10 people in the whole shrine, it was beautiful! I also encountered 3 boars! very scary. I really liked the shots you've taken! keep it up!

@maryanmg 3 года назад

A little late but here still, when I went to that beautiful place I just couln´t get to the very top because of my itinerary but it is such a wonderful experience to be there and now I definetely want to go at night someday!! The last part of the video where you show the old footage was the best, achieving goals and dreams, realizing you have got this far an still going up, it is amazing!!

@Muffincaek 3 года назад

Thanks Norm for the blast from the past! Me and a friend went to Fushimi inari for the first time in 2017, at midnight in the pouring rain. We met about 2 other visitors. On the way down from the top we took a wrong turn and ended up on a dirt road next to a bamboo forest full of boar-warning signs before we suddenly found ourselves in a quiet neighborhood. Eerily quiet and no movement anywhere. After being lost for quite a while we saw a taxi going in to the neighborhood and luckily managed to catch it going out! Saved by a lonely cab driver!

@shan_anigan 3 года назад

There's just something about videos of these places being filmed at night 👌🏻Amazing background music as well~

@MrsVeronicat 3 года назад

Fushimi Inari at night is the best experience ever. It's always almost empty and makes it even more magical (minus the mokeys and boars, their pretty scary at night). I've been there last time in 2016 and there was no signs or directions either! They must be pretty recent.

@rechiiparisu723 3 года назад

On 2018 i was in Kyoto for 5 days. Arrived in the 5am night bus. It was an amazing experience. I got to accidentally access Fujimi inari taisha from a back road that goes almost to the top and then get all the way down to the main access. Just beautiful. Still got my night visiting pending for a future trip.

@thairishflute6799 3 года назад

Honestly loved going to Fushimi Inari at night was the best experience. Also as a cat lover, bring cat food. Lots of stray kitties that will come out to greet you.

I've been here at night, definitely one of the highlights of my trip. Wanted to squeeze it in and I was so glad I did. No crowds, beautiful overlook, so quiet and atmospheric. Did hear a boar roaming around though, definitely got the heart started. Met a lovely irish couple on my way down, helped me relax after the boar

@floccinaucci 3 года назад

It got slightly scary (to me) when we went late evening to Fushimi Inari in 2019, the "thickness" of the darkness caused us to turn back around halfway up.

@sia1991 3 года назад

@StreyX 3 года назад

I've gone up and down Fushimi Inari each time I've been to Japan(3 times). On the way down, there is a split path with somewhat steep stairs that leads to only a small shrine area. It was somewhat creepy if not for the other handful of people that mistakenly went down that path too. It's also a decent leg work out.

@Beltainflame 3 года назад

@yllare 3 года назад

I love Fushimi Inari. Was there in spring of 2019. started the climb around 6:30am and pretty much spent the entire morning up in the mountain just walking and exploring. I didn't even notice the time until I went back down and the entrance was a hub of activity! Shops were open, tourist groups were there, it was just such a stark difference to the trickle of human activity when I started the climb.

@tammi6771 3 года назад

This seemed so peaceful. I was amazed at the amount of lights they have there. I do see why people may get lost. At the same time, it just means there is plenty to explore and enjoy.

I respect Norm destroying his sleep schedule to bring us such quality content. Having only seen the Fushimi inari Shrine on a busy, sweaty September day, it's been very interesting seeing another side of it. I can only begin to imagine how different the vibe is at night.

@Bellmere 3 года назад

Another really beautiful effort. The photography, lighting, composition and editing are all spot on. I have been to Fushimi Inari, but it was several years ago and during the day. Completely different atmosphere with the daylight and the crowds. Very smart move to do it at night and greet the dawn. Bravo.

Norm, this is so wonderful!! You have worked a lot on your editing skills and it shows--these past videos this year have been amazing. What a cool experience to have shared with Viktor. I have to say, you have inspired me to explore my area more (esp since travel is so restricted right now), and to go EARLY--it's SUCH a different vibe when there are few to no people in an area. I've learned to love and appreciate nature more and have enjoyed taking photos. Thank you for this!!

@joefroelich4934 3 года назад

Fushimi Inari Taisha is one of the most magical place I've ever visited. Going up from the other way around (the vermilion gates are blank instead of full of kanji) becuz of way less people climbing up and spent my time exploring (almost) every nook and cranny of the place (I even went to that same spot but didn't find that water pipe!). Your video brings back beautiful memories, thank you so much!

@artfromtheheart4391 Год назад

In no particular order: Fushimi Inari is a phenomenal place, even more phenomenalar at night ;) Dat camera! Dat view! Dat Scream @_@ Absolutely on my bucket list of places to visit!! Also worth mentioning is that where else other than Japan could you have such a famous landmark open 24/7 and it's just in beautiful condition with no hint of malicious activity. ⛩❤⛩

@junjunlupisan8569 3 года назад

Explored the shrine at night also last February. The atmosphere and view are just surreal. The shadows cast by the rows of torii gates were also cool. There are actually joggers in the shrine at night so you're not alone. To me Fushimi Inari is better explored at night; I think the only thing you'll miss are the shops. I want to go back to Japan so bad!

@bitfreakazoid 3 года назад

Did a night climb there last year and it was awesome. Just climbed up sipping on a Suntiry Highball. Heard some boar's rustling in the bushes and saw them scurry off into the trees at one point. During the day even when it is busy if you keep going up past where most people turn around there is eventually a part that splits off the the main path and there was no one up that way and the shrines up there give a real abandoned feel. Keep going up going completely off the path along some bamboos and you come up to this large concrete box half buried with a single locked hatch on top. Really wish I could have opened it up.

I went to Fushimi Inari in 2008/2009, there were a lot of people but nowhere near what it was just before Covid. I don’t remember there were shops and different roads. And when you reach the top, it’s essentially a graveyard, so it must be so eerie to go there in the dark.
