🥾 Mystic Hike of North Kyoto

Ancient temples, forest trails, mountaintop views—and a well-earned soak at the end.

Leave behind the bustle of the city and step into a realm where the air is fresher, the stories run deeper, and the forest feels alive. This isn’t your average sightseeing tour—it’s a journey through Kyoto’s sacred north, where legends of mountain spirits, warrior monks, and energy healing swirl among the trees.

🌲 Scene Setting

As we ascend into the cedar-lined paths of the northern hills, the air becomes noticeably fresher. The forest feels alive with centuries of spiritual energy. We’ll pass mossy lanterns and sacred trees on our way to Kibune Shrine, then cross the ridgeline toward Kurama Temple.

This isn’t just a walk in the woods—it’s a gentle but energizing journey into one of Kyoto’s most spiritually charged landscapes. In summer, it can be a bit sweaty, so we recommend bringing a small towel and change of clothes—especially if you plan to use the onsen ♨️ afterwards.
