Things to do in Mount Kurama

Amazing experience for us family of 4!We had a wonderful time at the Onsen ,you have choices of using the indoor or outdoor jacuzzi ,although we preferred the outdoor open air bath .You have a close encounter with nature and it was such rejuvenating.The facilities is well equipped and there is a nice restaurant serving local sumptuos dishes.We will definitely do it again next time we go back to Japan.

Need a kitchen knife? Make your own. This is it! As a family of 5, it was well worth it to learn an aspect of culture and have your kids participate. This business in particular, is tailored to your group so there is no large corporate awkwardness. As a small business they are able assist you one on one, as necessary. Learn to make a knife: heating, pounding to shape, grinding and sharpening; all in one. I'm from the US and have toured a lot if places.....this one is fun, enjoyable, and most everyone can get something out of this experience.

Great experience. Gaining insight on the Samauri history and learning how to weild and unsheath a Katana, dress as a Kenzo warrior and having a fight in full gear. We had a 9yr old with us and he loved it. Great for all the family!! A must when visiting Kyoto!

We had so much fun here. It was perfect for what we were looking for. The staff was great, friendly, and very accommodating. They walked us through the steps and we’re very happy people. I love our end result. I got the Kunai and my wife got the Shuriken. I even got the Naruto symbol on mine! We took a taxi three quarters of the way and took one train directly there. We did the opposite going back to our hotel. I would recommend this to anyone.

The most memorable excursion, EIKANDO!! Ideally to be done when there are no crowds (which was the case for us on October 27th). Lunch near Sanzen-in (izakaya: "Kyoubijaya", please note cash only payment). Splendid Kifune!

This is a package ticket for two cable car rides, but it does not include the tram. The product title is unclear. The first mountain cable car has the steepest gradient in Japan, which is very cool. It's over 100 years old and worth experiencing. Please note that there are fewer services on weekdays, so check the timetable.

We thoroughly enjoyed this day trip filled with serene shrines, peafeful temples, natural beauty, and some touristy shopping and food at the end of the tour. Our guide Hide, was friendly and knowledgeable and he got us everywhere safely and on time. We would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see these major sites and attractions without having to worry about the transportation.

Had a really great experience during this trip. I really enjoyed it a lot. Very, very peaceful and beautiful places across the trip. Our tour driver and guide, Mr. Song, was a very helpful and kind person.

I am very happy with this trip to Kyoto. Thank you to our tour guide, Yasuo, for accompanying us and taking us all the way to Kifune Shrine, Sanzen-in, and Arashiyama. He answered all our questions along the way, was very gentle and polite, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the tour. It was a wonderful journey.
