Itinéraire
Le sanctuaire Yuki a en fait été construit dans le centre de Kyoto, mais en 940 après JC, il a été déplacé à Kurama pour protéger la région du mal mystérieux. L'un des points forts de ce sanctuaire montagneux est un cèdre vieux de 800 ans qui domine le sanctuaire à 53 m de haut.
La montagne est connue comme le berceau de l’art de guérison holistique appelé Reiki. Au début des années 1900, le fondateur du Reiki, Mikao Usui, a médité pendant 21 jours sur cette montagne et a reçu l'énergie de guérison du Reiki. Mikao Usui méditait près du sommet de la montagne sur un site appelé Osugi Gongen, sur le site d'un grand arbre sacré considéré comme une incarnation du dieu Maoson. Une fois que vous avez atteint la montagne, vous pouvez sentir un chi positif qui vous entoure. Lorsque vous franchissez la porte d’entrée du temple, vous vous sentez tellement à l’aise spirituellement et énergiquement physiquement. D’une manière ou d’une autre, vous pouvez relier votre esprit à la montagne, au sol en dessous et au ciel au-dessus de vous. C’est une excellente expérience de méditation rien qu’en se promenant dans la montagne, dans un labyrinthe de racines et d’arbres.
Après avoir exploré le sanctuaire Yuki, vous serpenterez à travers la forêt lors d'une agréable promenade de 25 minutes jusqu'au sanctuaire le plus célèbre de la région - Kuramadera. Fondée au 8ème siècle, Kuramadera se consacre au culte de la montagne et de la nature, et offre une vue incroyable sur les chaînes de montagnes environnantes, en particulier en automne. Voyez combien de tengu (gardiens de la montagne) à long nez vous pouvez repérer.
Niché au fond des montagnes se trouve le temple Okunoin Maoden. On dit que c'est là que les démons règnent et que cela a un sentiment très mystérieux.
Le sanctuaire de Kifune est considéré comme un lieu où les marins peuvent aller prier pour avoir de la chance lors de leurs voyages et est dédié au Dieu de l'eau et de la pluie. Il y a des endroits où vous pouvez boire l'eau pure de la montagne fraîche de la source et de nombreux petits ruisseaux parsemés autour du sanctuaire. Si vous venez en été, attendez-vous à être charmé par les fleurs sauvages, mais ce n'est pas moins étonnant enveloppé de couleurs d'automne ou de neige d'un blanc pur. Assurez-vous d'essayer le mizuura mikuji (papier de fortune sur l'eau) que votre guide peut traduire pour vous.
Selon la légende, une déesse a voyagé en bateau depuis Osaka jusqu'à la rivière jusqu'à ces montagnes. Ce sanctuaire intérieur de Kifune abrite le bateau dans lequel on dit qu'elle est montée.

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. Thank you for recommending the tour and we truly hope to welcome you again! Best regards, Kyoko
