Kyoto Private Hiking Tour: Ancient Trails of Kurama and Kibune

Visit Kurama-dera Temple, a serene mountainside temple surrounded by ancient cedar forest. Your guide will share the history and spiritual significance of this sacred site before beginning the forest trail.

Hike through the ancient cedar forests of Mt. Kurama on a centuries-old trail once walked by monks and travelers. The peaceful mountain path winds through towering trees, offering fresh air, natural beauty, and occasional views over the valley.

Visit Kibune-jinja Shrine, a tranquil Shinto shrine dedicated to the god of water. Set along the riverside with stone lanterns lining the approach, it is one of Kyoto's most atmospheric and lesser-known sacred sites.

Arrive in Kibune, a charming riverside village nestled in the mountains. Known for its traditional architecture and peaceful atmosphere, Kibune is the perfect end point to the hike — a quiet escape far from the busy city.
