Make sure you have lots of energy for this one. You have to scale a mountain to see it all. It’s well worth it though. The thousands of gates are really amazing. Plus when you get to the top of the mountain you get a great view of the city of Kyoto. There are nice little stops along the way if you need to get some drinks or food. The food basically consists of udon though, so if your not a fan then you should eat before starting the climb. Some the most amazing parts of the trail are the small shrines along the way. You can buy a minature “torii” or gate to place at the shrines if you want to pray for something specific.
