Water known as "divine water" gushes out of the temple, and the temple is famous for its mizu-mikuji, or "water fortune" made from this water. Visitors can buy a fortune and float it in the divine water to see the result of their fortune, which is visually pleasing.
Kibune Shrine also has a hole that emits sacred chi, one of the three largest dragon holes in Japan, and it is reputed to receive power even if you just spend the night nearby. It is forbidden to actually look at it because the chi is too strong, so it is best to just go near it.

Walking from the Niomon Gate of Kuramadera Temple to the main hall, a six-pointed star appears in front of the main hall.
There is a cable car from the bottom, but let's hang in there because it seems to be more beneficial than a quick cable car ride. It is also said to be the place where the cosmic energy of the hexagram is concentrated, and many people come to see this hexagram every day. The triangle in the center is said not to be stepped on, so be careful when passing through.

This shrine is also located on Mt. Kurama, a sacred mountain, on the 99-fold approach to Kuramadera Temple.
Next to the staircase, there is a large cedar tree, 53 meters tall and said to be about 800 years old, which is said to grant your wishes if you make them single-mindedly. It is also designated as a natural monument by Kyoto City.
It is believed that there is a god of marriage and a god to ward off fire, and those who are interested in these deities should ask for them.
If you take the cable car, you will go too far, so walk up or get off the cable car and go back down a little.

This temple, where it is said that he left the secular world and entered the path of Buddha, has a moss-covered garden and seasonal views. The temple is characterized by small Jizo statues peeking out from the moss and guarding the garden in various guises. There are two gardens, Jyubekien and Arikien, both of which are historic gardens. In the Arikien garden, there is a water for blessing and prolonging one's life, and it is said that wetting one's hands with this water will bring good luck.

The moss-covered Jizo is cute.

The Path of Philosophy, where many philosophers are said to have walked while pondering, is also nearby.
There are many trees planted along the Philosopher's Path, and during the cherry blossom season, cherry petals float on the river, creating a flower raft. Fireflies fly in the summer, the leaves turn red in the fall, and snowy landscapes can be seen in the winter.

If you go further into Sanzenin Temple, you will find Otonashi Waterfall. This is a hole-in-the-wall tourist spot where not many people come.
The footing is not that good, so you will need sneakers, but it is still worth the trip because you will feel fulfilled when you enter the space filled with negative ions, don't you think?
Surrounded by forests and waterfalls, you can recharge your body with the energy of nature.

The shape of the waterfall changes depending on the amount of rainfall.

The appearance of the waterfall differs from day to day. If it rains a lot, the waterfall will be bigger, and even if it does not rain, water will gather through the mountains and form a waterfall.
It is such a great place to visit that you can become one with nature by listening to the sound of the waterfall and the sounds of nature. Of course, it is a hole in the ground, so there are not many people there. Let's appreciate it quietly.
