Mount Kurama

鞍馬山

Kyoto, Kyoto · Elevation 584 m

Mount Kurama (584 m) rises just north of central Kyoto in the Kurama district of Sakyō Ward and is owned in its entirety by Kurama-dera, the head temple of the Kurama-Kōkyō sect. The mountain is closely tied to the legend of young Minamoto no Yoshitsune (Ushiwakamaru) training in martial arts under the Kurama tengu; sites such as the Maō-den inner sanctum and the exposed-root Kinone-michi line the path. The traverse from Kurama Station via Kurama-dera to Kifune Shrine is one of the best-known short hikes north of Kyoto, and the peak is counted among Japan's Hundred Sacred Mountains.
