Illumination of Kyoto Senbon torii at night? 2022/12/12 04:42
Dear Sir or Madam,

Are the Senbon torii in Kyoto illuminated in the evening and at night, and may one climb the mountain after sunset? I saw those torii gates illuminated at night on YouTube and people taking an evening stroll, but I was uncertain whether this is a regular occurrence or a special occasion when the gates are illuminated.
Maybe you can bring light into the dark.

Kind regards

Fushimi Inari is open 24 hrs, so anyone can enter the shrine site anytime,
the Senbon-torii is lit so that visitors can pass through it at night,
but the lighting up of senbon-torii with lanterns is seasonal.
