Very good experience! Could get a feel of the culture and history of kyoto and the temple. It was crowded but not in a way to affect my experience. The guides explained the cultural and religious meaning of the different rituals, buildings and places.

We visited Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrince with a group of students from India. The students had the opportunity to tour the shrine grounds while listening to the guide’s thoughtful and detailed explanations, and to attend the solemn Kagura dedication ceremony. This tour provided a deeply immersive educational experience far beyond mere sightseeing. Highly recommended to anyone looking to understand the depth of Japanese culture!

Extremely helpful guide and explanation of the temple... will take again if I return
The experience was great, I loved it. But the duration I felt was a little too short. Maybe it's because there was a communication gap between us and the guide(language or interaction wise).
