What an incredible destination! The journey kicks off with a breathtaking train ride to Kurama, followed by a steep path weaving through numerous shrines, creating a truly mystical experience. The highlight, undoubtedly, was exploring the underground chambers of Kurama-dera shrine adorned with hundreds of lanterns. And, of course, a must-visit is the enchanting Kifune shrine in the next valley. Conclude your adventure with a leisurely walk back to Kibuneguchi station or opt for a convenient bus ride. #MysticalJourney #HiddenGems

Unknown to many, Mount Kurama is the birthplace of Reiki. I was here on a Reiki pilgrimage and this mountain is beyond magical. There are two entrances to this mountain so please take note. The other entrance is nothing but uphill and not for the faint of heart. Plan for an entire day as the hike is not easy (also not hard) and you want to take your time to savor the energy, power and views of this place. Bring a bottle of water and some small snacks

The path climb up to the temple is peaceful and quiet. The trees are tall and beautiful.

I visited Mount Kurama just as the autumn foliage arrived! The colours were beautiful and the walk was one of the best. I started my journey at Kurama station and ventured up to the top then made my way to Kibune. I had my 1.5 old/14kg in a baby carrier for the hike and took an hour and 37 minutes for the whole journey. I would class this hike as tops intermediate and beginners friendly. This is a must visit location.

The route is not so difficult to follow. Just too many steps to walk. I enjoyed the view and the weather.

Such an amazing place to go for a trail! It isn’t easy but would definitely recommend for you to give it a go! Mount Kurama is very quiet and peaceful. There are several tiny temples along the way and the view is amazing. We took the cable car to go up and then went by foot all the way down. It took us nearly 3h with stops to enjoy the view and the quietness.
