Itinerario
El Santuario Yuki fue construido en el centro de Kioto, pero en el año 940 dC fue trasladado a Kurama para proteger el área del mal misterioso. Uno de los aspectos más destacados de este santuario montañoso es un cedro de 800 años que se eleva sobre el santuario a 53m de altura.
La montaña es conocida como el lugar de nacimiento del arte curativo holístico llamado Reiki. A principios del siglo XX, el fundador del Reiki, Mikao Usui, meditó durante 21 días en esta montaña y recibió la energía curativa del Reiki. Mikao Usui meditó cerca de la cima de la montaña en un sitio llamado Osugi Gongen, en el lugar de un gran árbol sagrado que se decía era una encarnación del dios Maoson. Una vez que llegues a la montaña, podrás sentir el chi positivo que te rodea. Al entrar por la puerta principal del templo, te sientes muy cómodo espiritualmente y enérgico físicamente. De alguna manera, puedes vincular tu espíritu con la montaña, con el suelo debajo y con el cielo sobre ti. Es una excelente experiencia de meditación simplemente caminando por la montaña, el laberinto de raíces de enfoque y los árboles.
Después de explorar el Santuario Yuki, recorrerás el bosque en un agradable paseo de 25 minutos hasta el santuario más famoso de la zona: Kuramadera. Fundada en el siglo VIII, Kuramadera se dedica a la adoración de las montañas y la naturaleza, y tiene una vista increíble de las cordilleras circundantes, especialmente en otoño. Vea cuántos tengu de nariz larga (guardianes de la montaña) puede ver.
Enclavado en lo profundo de las montañas se encuentra el Templo Okunoin Maoden. Se dice que es donde reinan los demonios y tiene un sentimiento muy misterioso al respecto.
El Santuario Kifune se considera un lugar para que los marineros vayan a rezar por suerte en sus viajes y está dedicado al Dios del agua y la lluvia. Hay lugares donde puedes beber el agua pura de montaña fresca de la fuente, y muchos pequeños arroyos salpicados alrededor del santuario. Si vienes en verano, espera ser cautivado por las flores silvestres, pero no es menos impresionante envuelto en colores otoñales o nieve blanca pura. Asegúrese de probar el mizuura mikuji (papel de la adivinación del agua) que su guía puede traducir para usted.
Según la leyenda, una diosa viajó en un bote desde Osaka todo el río hasta estas montañas. Este santuario interior de Kifune alberga el barco, se dice que entró.

This hiking tour was exceptional! It was beautiful and there is such a power energy on Mount Kurama! Our tour guide Etskumo was great! She was the sweetest lady ever! Easy to talk to and was taking care of our every need. She was knowledgeable and actually a pleasure to be around for our 8 hour tour. She had great patience other my three teenagers! We loved seeing the Shrine and Temple on such a magnificent mountain. It was a wonderful trip!

We took my mom on this tour for her birthday and had a great time! Etsuko was great! She was so attentive and knowledgeable about the area making sure that we had an enjoyable experience. She picked up us up at our hotel and took the train with us to ensure we got there smoothly. In Kurama we visited the beautiful temple and mountain area then hiked back the other side of the mountain to have lunch in Kibune. Etsuko translated for us and helped find options that met our dietary needs as well. We would absolutely recommend this tour and her to other visitors. Thank you!

It was a different and incredible adventure. Climbing Mount Kurama, a sacred place, brought a lot of reflection and learning. It is not an easy place to reach, so I completely recommend Omakase Tour, a trustworthy company that took care of every detail. Thanks to our guide Yoshi, my mother and I were able to make the most of it. Yoshi was completely attentive, caring, and made our experience smooth and high-quality. For those looking for a different tour and a spiritual journey, I highly recommend this experience.
Dear Caroline, Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re truly honored that you and your mother chose to explore the sacred Mount Kurama with us. It’s wonderful to hear that Yoshi’s attentive and caring guidance helped make the experience smooth and meaningful. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable adventure! Best regards, Kyoko
Just outside Kyoto lies Kurama, a charming little town that feels worlds away from the city’s bustle. It’s the starting point for one of the most delightful walks Dachshundtours.com.au arranged in Japan — an easy 5‑kilometer trail that winds through forested hills, shaded paths, and temple grounds, offering a perfect blend of nature and culture. The adventure begins with the ride itself: the “dinky” Eizan train that rattles its way from Kyoto to Kurama. It’s a short journey, but the scenery — villages, valleys, and glimpses of cedar forests — sets the tone for what’s to come. Arriving in Kurama, you’ll find a sleepy town with hot spring inns and a relaxed vibe, the ideal launchpad for your walk. The trail leads up past Kurama-dera Temple, perched on the hillside, before continuing through tranquil forests. Towering cedar trees line the path, their shade keeping the walk cool even in summer. The air feels fresh, filled with birdsong and the earthy scent of moss. It’s not a strenuous hike, more of a gentle wander, and along the way you’ll encounter shrines, stone steps, and occasional viewpoints that remind you just how close you are to Kyoto yet how far you feel from its urban pace. The walk finishes in Kibune, another picturesque village known for riverside dining and traditional inns. From here, you can hop back on the little train, completing the circle of your adventure. Easy, beautiful, and accessible, the Kurama to Kibune walk is proof that sometimes the best experiences are found just beyond the city limits.
Dear David, Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed the Kurama to Kibune walk—it's truly a hidden gem just outside the city. We look forward to welcoming you again! Best regards, Kyoko
Akari was fabulous, adding to an overall great experience. The shrines, temples, and views were amazing. Highly recommend this trip. Akari was wonderful and added so much to our experience. Very knowledgeable, super friendly, engaged the whole time. We felt like we became friends.
Dear valued guest, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed exploring Kurama and Kibune with Akari, and that the shrines, temples, and nature made your experience special.
