Message from Sam Hodenius

Kuramadera Temple is a mystical temple complex nestled on the side of Mt. Kurama in Kyoto. You can take a cable car or hike up the steep mountain to reach the main shrine, where you'll be rewarded with stunning views of the surrounding valley. wildlife.  The temple’s main hall offers a gorgeous view out over the surrounding mountains, and a sandō path connects it to the nearby Kibune village and Kifune Shrine.

Don't forget to explore the smaller shrines scattered along the hiking trail for a truly enchanting experience!
