This fall, I went to Kurama and Kibune on November 17th. Departing from Demachiyanagi Station, we went in the order of → Kurama Temple → Hiking on the mountain path → Kifune Shrine. I was prepared for the mountains to be quite cold at this time of year, but it was a perfect day for hiking, with the weather being just warm and sunny (it was rather hot as I was wearing thick clothes).
On the train to go. It was in the middle of the tourist season, so it was a crowded train, but the autumn leaves could be seen beautifully from the train window.I arrived at Kurama station. The big head of Kurama Tengu is welcomed.This is the Niomon of Kurama Temple. It will be the starting point of the mountain road.A vending machine at a rest area. I saw a hot paper pack for the first time. Garbage problem + spectacle unique to cold mountains …?I arrived at the main hall of Kurama Temple. It seems that there is a rumor that the hexagram in front of the main shrine is a power spot connected to the universe … (upper right).We had lunch in the main hall open space. Some were sleeping too loosely.After lunch, I continued climbing down the mountain path to reach Kifune Shrine. But I’m a little tired so I’m taking a break.The steep downhill road was long and difficult, but I arrived at Kifune Shrine safely.After all, Kifune Shrine at this time is full of people. After lining up in the long line, I prayed that my research (and job hunting) would be successful.
After seeing the main hall, I went to Okunoin. After that, I took a group photo for the new website at a nearby riverside. (Look forward to this!)
Lastly, I headed to Kibune Station and went home while watching the autumn leaves. It was a fulfilling rec, but it was harder to climb the mountain than I expected, and when I returned, I fell asleep.
