Kurama to Kibune

A couple weeks ago, Dan and I went on a hike from a town called Kurama to a town called Kibune. It was up north of Kyoto about a half an hour and the train ride up was beautiful. In Kurama we climbed up a mountain to a shrine and then hiked across a ridge to Kibune.

This is Kurama. At the end of the street are the begining of the stairs that we climbed for quite a while.


The temple at the top had great views of the surrounding mountain range.

Here is an example of that.

Here is the temple(Kurama-dera)

This is Yoshitsune Seekurabe-ishi. It is height comparing rock that Minamoto Yoshitsune used to measure his height before he went to join the Minamoto clan.

These are some crazy roots we saw along the way.

This is a pretty waterfall at the end in Kibune.
