A poetic temple - Kurama-dera Temple

Kurama-dera Temple is a Buddhist temple in Kitayama, Kyoto Prefecture, and is known as one of Japan's holiest places. It takes about 1.5 hours to get there by bus or train from downtown Kyoto. With convenient transportation, Kurama Temple has become one of the must-visit attractions for many travelers to Kyoto.

As soon as you step into Kurama-dera Temple, you can feel the deep spiritual energy. With the breeze blowing, the whole temple exudes a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. When visiting the interior of the temple, you can see various exquisite buildings and works of art, among which the mountain gate, bell tower and five-story pagoda are the most representative.

The most famous thing about Kurama Temple is the training path within the temple. On one side is the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, and on the road there is an even more unique world. Such as walking through the red leaf tunnel, the lush green tea garden, and various lifelike stone sculptures of immortals and so on. Walking up the hillside of the temple, you can overlook the entire Kyoto city, or you can sit in meditation in the square on the mountain and have an unforgettable spiritual practice experience.

If you have enough time, you may want to rent a bicycle in the mountain area next to the temple and ride it on the winding mountain trails, or take a walk in the nearby nature reserve to enjoy the unique natural scenery of Japan.

At Kurama Temple, you can deeply experience the charm of Japanese culture. In addition to its beautiful architecture and natural scenery, more importantly, it represents Japan's mysterious beliefs and culture. Kurama Temple gives people a feeling of tranquility and peace. Even if it is your first time in Japan, it is not difficult to feel the simplicity and friendliness of the local residents. I believe it will make you linger.
