Well maintained mountain scenes, with stone steps for mountain climbing. But, not very suitable for rainy day visit. It may be difficult for foreigners to visit the place, because it does not offer English signs in many road directions, including mountain step road. However, it is NOT uncommon for foreign students or visitors who live in Japan and who may be able to speak and read Japanese would visit the place for one-day mountain climbing, because of its low-cost for admission and for food at non-restaurant stores. These resident foreigners may help first-time visitors for the directions.
Climbing to the mountain area, visitors may enjoy long-and-wide range view of Kyoto, although visitors may also see various animals, including bears occasionally.
Transportation from Kyoto to Mount Kurama generally needs transfer, although train transfer is NOT time-consuming in the day time, while there are also taxi service for the visitors. The river area coming down Mountain Kurama does have a few high end restaurants which sometimes allow customers to dine, openly, on the river when there is NO hurricane or rain, and such a dining experience is considered a luxury for the tourists, including Japanese, because food offered are unique, fresh, with attentive services.
空氣清新,適合登山健行的好地方,不過不耐走的朋友乖乖搭纜車就好!
Try taking the path from Kibune to Kurama. It’s a different experience from walking the trail. I recommend you wear a comfortable sport shoes as it can be challenging in some areas which are steep sloping path.
貴船〜鞍馬の山道は登山初心者でも歩けます。
とはいっても若干きつめの階段等あるので高齢の方は要注意。
運が良ければ鹿に出会えます。
叡山鉄道が、とっても素敵でした。可愛くて。景色を存分にお楽しみ下さい。鞍馬山は、舐めてかからないで下さいね。木の根と石と、急勾配くねくね凸凹2キロ。ただ、その道中は、厳しく険しいだけでなく、人々が、この山を愛して、誇りに思っていることが、伝わります。
