Kurama Mountain, guarded by Tengu, and the unique faith of Sonten at Kurama-dera.

Kurama-dera Temple is said to be the most powerful power spot in Kyoto.
It is the legendary place where Ushiwakamaru (Minamoto no Yoshitsune as a child) met a Tengu, and as the name suggests, it is located at the top of a mountain where you can ride a cable car up the mountain.
I went there at the beginning of the year, so it was snowing and it was a fantastic sight. (I heard that the cherry blossoms🌸 in spring and the autumn leaves🍁 in autumn are beautiful.)
The square in front of the "Main Hall of the Golden Hall," which is said to be the most powerful spot in the temple grounds, is a training ground called the "Kongo-doko," and it is said to be filled with cosmic energy. People lined up in the square to feel the energy (I went around 10-11 am on New Year's Day, so there was a line of less than 10 people.) One by one, they stood in the center of the Kongo-doko and prayed.
The beautiful temple grounds and scenery definitely purified me and gave me power during my first visit to the temple! #DomesticTravelRecord
