The Kyoto trail is a hiking course of 83.3 km around the Kyoto basin, running from Fushimi-Momoyama station to Kamikatsura station.

I hiked one part of Kyoto trail, from Ohara to Nishikamo on May 24th, 2020.

I’ll introduce the Ebumi shrine, Shizuhara shrine, Kurama temple, Moriya shrine, Himuro shrine and others.

I started hiking from the bus station in Ohara at No.1 on the map, where my previous hike on the Kyoto trail had ended

This is Ebumi shrine at No.2 on the map.

It is unknown when the shrine was founded, but it seems to be an old shrine.

After Ebumi shrine, I hiked to a mountain.

This is a shrine near Ebumi mountain pass at No.3 on the map.

This is Shizuhara shrine at No.4 on the map.

It was founded about 1700 years ago.

This is Jozo temple at No.5 on the map.

This is Nioumon gate in Kurama temple.

It was founded about 1200 years ago.

It’s a famous temple, but I didn’t go inside.

Kurama is famous for this Tengu.

This is first torii of Kifune shrine at No.8 on the map.

It was founded about 1100 years ago, but it was damaged by the typhoon in 2019.

I hiked down the mountain from here.

I hiked over 4 mountains and there were some shrines and temples in this course.

It’s a a long distance and the access from the center of Kyoto is not very convenient, also there are not so many viewing spot in this course.

If you want to go hiking and sight seeing, it’s better to walk around famous temples and shrines in the Kifune / Ohara area.
