Where can we spend some quiet time at Fushimi Inari?

Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine is always crowded with people.
However, there are a few quiet places where tour groups don’t go. My favourite is Kobo-ga-taki Waterfall.
After passing through the thousand torii gates, follow the Kyoto Loop Trail from the inner shrine, and you’ll come to a bamboo forest. Continue walking through the bamboo forest for about 10 inutes to reach the waterfall. Waterfalls have been places of spiritual training since ancient times. Being struck by the waterfall’s flow trains both the mind and body.
At Fushimi Inari Waterfall, you can see elements of both Shinto and Buddhism, and feel the fusion of Shinto and Buddhism in Japan.
