My Trip

In the mountains of northern Kyoto, a ridge trek from Kurama-dera over to Kibune Shrine. Walk the tengu power spot and the tree-root path, dine over the stream in summer, and finish at a year-round open-air onsen — a full nature course in Kyoto's outskirts.

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Kurama-dera Temple鞍馬寺

    Temple · Attraction · 60 min stay

    A sacred-mountain temple enshrining the cosmic energy 'Sonten.' Standing on the hexagram pattern before the main hall is said to receive its power — Kyoto's foremost power spot. A cable car reaches midway.

    오전 출발(에이잔선 30분)

  2. 2

    Kinone-michi (Tree-Root Path)木の根道

    Trekking · 50 min stay

    A ridge path where tree roots spread like a net over the bedrock. The very forest where, by legend, the young Ushiwakamaru (Minamoto no Yoshitsune) learned martial arts from the tengu.

  3. Walk 30 min
    3

    Kibune Shrine貴船神社

    Shrine · 40 min stay

    A shrine to the water deity. The stone steps lined with red lanterns are the highlight, and the 'mizuura' water fortune, where letters surface on paper floated on water, is the specialty.

  4. Walk 8 min
    4

    Kibune Kawadoko (Streamside Dining)貴船 川床

    Nature · 90 min stay

    Kawadoko, eating on platforms set right over the valley stream. Nagashi-somen and kaiseki amid the cold rush of water underfoot are the essence of cool Kyoto summer.

    5~9월(여름 한정 별미)

  5. Transit 20 min
    5

    Kurama Onsenくらま温泉

    Hot spring · 70 min stay

    A day-trip onsen with an open-air bath facing the mountains. Soaking trek-tired legs in the sulfur spring is the most perfect reward after a hike.
