Q: How early should I arrive to avoid the massive crowds at the Torii gates?

It is a moderate hike with many stairs. Expect a 2-3 hour round trip. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water.

Q: Are there any entrance fees or specific dress codes for the shrine?

Take the JR Nara Line from Kyoto Station to Inari Station. It is a very short 5-minute train ride.
