The day, in words
A morning that starts under the torii while they are quiet, crosses to Tofuku-ji when its gates open, stops at To-ji's pagoda, and ends with coffee in the middle of town. Fushimi Inari never closes, which is the whole idea.
Hours and fees are Jalan's, as of 3 September 2026. Tofuku-ji's prices change with the season, and its main garden rises from ¥500 to ¥600 in November 2026, so check its own site in the autumn.
