[Kurama Temple] in Kurama, where Ushiwakamaru was trained

Founded in 770. It is said that Ganjin Wajo's disciple, Kanjo Shonin, enshrined Bishamonten. Said to be the birthplace of the Tengu legend, it is also known as the place of training for Ushiwakamaru. The Kongo-doko that spreads out in front of the main hall of Kondo is famous nationwide as a power spot [Kurama Temple].
The best time to see the autumn leaves is from mid-November to late November. From the Niomon gate to the Kujukuori approach, through Tenhorindo to the main hall, you will be fascinated by the various expressions of autumn leaves brought by the rich nature of Mt. Kurama. The autumn foliage that vividly colors the vermilion Niomon Gate and the approach leading to the main hall is a must-see.
