About This Tour
This tour takes you beyond the typical Kyoto experience and into the heart of Mount Kurama, a sacred mountain rich with spiritual energy, ancient legends, and natural beauty. Unlike standard sightseeing tours, this journey blends culture, mythology, and nature in one unforgettable experience. Led by a knowledgeable local guide, you’ll visit Kurama-dera Temple, walk the mysterious Root Path through the forest, and reach the hidden Inner Sanctuary of the Demon King (Mao-den) — a site of unique spiritual belief found nowhere else in Japan. You won’t just see the sights — you’ll feel the power of the mountain, learn the stories of samurai and Tengu spirits, and connect with Japan’s deep spiritual heritage. This tour is perfect for travelers seeking more than just photos — it's a meaningful journey into the mystical soul of Kyoto.
