I went to Kibune to enjoy the Kawadoko. Before the meeting, I walked with one of
the member  from Kurama to Kibune. Mt. Kurama is well-known as the  place
where Yoshitsune(Ushiwakamaru) practiced the martial arts with Kurama-Tengu
(a long-nosed goblin).

The whole of the mountain is the temple(Kuramadera), and there are some shrines in there.

Yuki-Jinja, it seemed very old.

In front of the main shrine, there is the power spot, it is said they can communicate
to the cosmos.

Kinone-michi, the land is made of rock, so they cannot take their root under the ground.

We met some people they were praying very hard in shrines.

We went out Mt. Kurama from the west gate, and arrived at Kibune.

kurama9
The main shrine of Kifune-jinja, it was too new and I did not feel any value.

There is the symbiosis of a Japanese cedar and a maple in the inner shrine. It seemed
they are giving us a message about peace.
We finished all visiting shrines, and went to the Kawadoko.
