Overview
This tour takes you beyond the typical Kyoto experience and into the heart of Mount Kurama, a sacred mountain rich with spiritual energy, ancient legends, and natural beauty.

You won’t just see the sights — you’ll feel the power of the mountain, learn the stories of samurai and Tengu spirits, and connect with Japan’s deep spiritual heritage. This tour is perfect for travelers seeking more than just photos — it's a meaningful journey into the mystical soul of Kyoto.
