[Kyoto/Kurama] I don't really want to tell you about this famous spot in Kyoto!

Kurama-dera Temple is a power spot that can be reached in about an hour from central Kyoto! It is relatively quiet compared to other places in Kyoto, so you can take your time and enjoy sightseeing. Let's heal the fatigue of everyday life with the energy of temples, shrines, and nature! Kurama-dera Temple is known for its Tengu legend and power spot, and Kifune Shrine is famous as a shrine that enshrines the gods of matchmaking and water. In this area where the nature of the mountains and historic temples and shrines are fused together, you can feel the depth of Kyoto's nature and faith in a relaxed atmosphere. ◆ Points of interest - Power spots at Kurama-dera Temple: There are spots where you can feel energy scattered in the main hall of the temple and in the cedar forest on the way up Mount Kurama. The "Kongo Shoko" is especially popular. - Hiking Mount Kurama: The mountain path has a mysterious atmosphere, and stones and trees related to the Tengu legend are scattered here and there. You can walk leisurely in nature, so it's perfect for refreshing. - Water fortune telling at Kifune Shrine: The famous thing here is the "water fortune telling". When you dip the fortune slip in water, the letters will appear, so if you visit, be sure to try it.

- The atmosphere along the Kifune River: In summer, a riverside terrace is set up, where you can enjoy meals while feeling cool. In autumn, the autumn leaves are beautiful, and you can enjoy the scenery of each season.

◆Access
- From Kyoto City to Kurama Temple: Take the Eizan Electric Railway from Kyoto Station to Kurama Station, and then walk for a short distance.

- Hiking trail: It is a mountain path from Kurama Temple to Kifune Shrine, which takes about an hour and a half one way. There are moderate ups and downs, so even beginners can walk safely.

- Return access: To return from Kifune Shrine to Kyoto City, walk to Kifuneguchi Station, and then take the Eizan Electric Railway back from there.

◆Notes
Although the hiking trail is suitable for beginners, it is undulating and the path is rough due to tree roots, so we recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes.

A luxurious experience where you can experience history and culture while refreshing in nature. Take a leisurely walk and enjoy the seasonal scenery!
