Kibune Shrine

Hello, this is Trinh.
This time I would like to introduce you to the Kibune Shrine. 

It takes about an hour and a half by train from Kyoto Station to Kibune Shrine.
After passing Ichihara Station, there is a tunnel lined with autumn leaves,
and the driver slows down to allow travelers to gaze upon the scenery.

Because it wasn't yet autumn, the green leaves grew plentiful.
If you want to see the autumn leaves, we recommend traveling between October and November.
Seats on this route, in particular, are designed to face outside windows, allowing travelers a better view.

Kibune Shrine is located deep in the mountains, which makes it quite cool.

There are many restaurants and lodgings near Kibune Shrine,
and the bamboo fences make a nice atmosphere.

Behind the torii gate at the entrance to the pathway to the main shrine of Kibune Shrine,
there is a beautiful stone staircase with an angle of about 100 m lined with lights at frequent times.
It is a beautiful setting with a deeply emotional vibe.
When you climb the stone steps, you will see the main building,
and the sacred water of Kibune that flows in front of it is cold and amazing." The pathway to the shrine and the surrounding area are illuminated
with lights until 8:00 p.m., giving a very stunning view.

Kibune is well known for its Kawadoko cuisine,
and it is difficult to eat there without placing a reservation.

Kibune is also refreshing in the summer and highly recommended.
I plan to return in the fall, when the maple trees are in bloom.
