오쿠야시로 호하이쇼

가기 전에 알아두세요

Set aside 2 to 3 hours minimum for your entire visit to Fushimi Inari Taisha if you want to reach Okuyashiro Hohaisho, as it sits at the end of the Senbon Torii tunnel and requires a substantial walk up the mountain.

Plan to arrive at Okuyashiro Hohaisho in the late morning or early afternoon after you've walked through the Senbon Torii, as the altitude and cooler air make this a refreshing destination midway through your shrine visit rather than a starting point.

Approach the Hohaisho with a quiet demeanor and take time to face the three peaks of Mount Inari in prayer or reflection, as this is fundamentally a place of worship rather than a photo checkpoint, and the cooler, more isolated setting invites genuine spiritual engagement.

Wear layers and bring a light jacket even on warm days, since the altitude of this worship hall combined with the valley setting creates noticeably cooler temperatures than the main shrine area below.
