We visited Fushimi Inari Taisha in May 2025 and we weren't disappointed. But I wish we'd gotten there sooner! I think early morning is quieter and would give you a more peaceful experience. The trail is long! Lots of stairs, and always climbing! This time we didn't make it to the top. My wife was tired after a good 45 minutes of walking. Definitely something I'd want to do again when it's less crowded, and maybe better prepared. The trail is open 24 hours, so we have options.

Early loop through Asakusa before the crowds — goshuin at Sensō-ji and Imado, and the Sumida riverside was beautiful.
