Sobre este Tip
A forest trail links Kurama-dera and Kifune-jinja over the ridge, passing the Ki-no-ne Michi, a path covered in cedar roots. Ride the Eizan line from Demachiyanagi to the last stop at Kurama, walk toward Kibune in that direction, then ride back from Kibune-guchi. Allow a few hours, wear shoes with grip, and check train service that day. In summer, finish by watching the riverside dining platforms at Kibune.
