Kuramadera Temple
Kuramadera Temple
Kuramadera Temple (鞍馬寺) has a long history, and it is said to have started when Gantei, a high-caliber disciple of Ganjin, built a thatched hut in 770 and enshrined Bishamonten. It is said that an emissary descended from Venus 650 years ago, and Minamoto no Yoshitsune (Ushiwakamaru) It is a mountain that is said to have met Tengu and practiced asceticism. The main hall and Kongo floor at the top of the mountain are the biggest power spot of Mt. Kurama. You can also take the cable car halfway up. For those who are confident in physical strength and walking, we recommend the hiking course from Mount Kurama to Kibune. After getting off the cable car, you have to go up the long stairs, so please be careful.
This is Kongosho(金剛床), the main hall of Mount Kurama's largest power spot at the summit.
You can go up to the top of the mountain by cable car. (Paid)
When you pass through the Nio-mon gate, the gentle Kannon will greet you.
It is Kinonemichi where MINAMOTO no Yoshitsune is said to have trained. It was a place where I could feel the powerful vitality of nature.
