Itinerario
Il Santuario Yuki fu in realtà costruito nel centro di Kyoto, ma nel 940 d.C. fu trasferito a Kurama per proteggere l'area dal male misterioso. Uno dei punti forti di questo santuario montuoso è un albero di cedro di 800 anni che sovrasta il santuario a 53 metri di altezza.
La montagna è conosciuta come il luogo di nascita dell'arte di guarigione olistica chiamata Reiki. Agli inizi del 1900, il fondatore del Reiki, Mikao Usui, meditò per 21 giorni su questa montagna e ricevette l'energia curativa del Reiki. Mikao Usui meditava vicino alla cima della montagna in un sito chiamato Osugi Gongen, nel luogo in cui si trovava un grande albero sacro che si dice fosse un'incarnazione del dio Maoson. Una volta raggiunta la montagna, puoi percepire il chi positivo che ti circonda. Quando entri nella porta principale del tempio, ti senti così a tuo agio spiritualmente ed energico fisicamente. In qualche modo puoi collegare il tuo spirito alla montagna, al suolo sottostante e al cielo sopra di te. È un'eccellente esperienza di meditazione semplicemente camminando intorno alla montagna, al labirinto di radici focalizzate e agli alberi.
Dopo aver esplorato il Santuario di Yuki, visiterai la foresta con una piacevole passeggiata di 25 minuti fino al santuario più famoso della zona: Kuramadera. Fondata nell'VIII secolo, Kuramadera è dedicata al culto delle montagne e della natura e ha una vista incredibile sulle catene montuose circostanti, specialmente in autunno. Guarda quanti tengu dal naso lungo (guardiani della montagna) puoi individuare.
Immerso nelle montagne è il tempio di Okunoin Maoden. Si dice che sia dove regnano i demoni e ha una sensazione molto misteriosa al riguardo.
Il Santuario di Kifune è considerato un luogo in cui i marinai possono pregare per fortuna durante i loro viaggi ed è dedicato al Dio dell'acqua e della pioggia. Ci sono luoghi in cui è possibile bere l'acqua pura di montagna fresca dalla sorgente e molti piccoli corsi d'acqua sparsi nel santuario. Se vieni in estate, aspettati di essere incantato dai fiori di campo, ma non è meno sorprendente avvolto nei colori autunnali o nella pura neve bianca. Assicurati di provare il mizuura mikuji (documento sulla fortuna dell'acqua) che la tua guida può tradurre per te.
Secondo la leggenda, una dea ha viaggiato su una barca da Osaka fino al fiume in queste montagne. Questo santuario interno di Kifune ospita la barca che si dice abbia cavalcato dentro.

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
