Famous for its Azalea festival in April, this shrine is known as the Fushimi Inari of Tokyo as it boasts a vermillion shrine gate lined road. A beautiful shrine and a great photo spot, but does require extra time, planning, and assitance for those with walking difficulties as many areas are not accessible for wheelchair users.
